The History of The Cornelius Leadership Conference

The Cornelius Congress hosts this biennial continuing education event that features a Cornelius Keynote Address on Leadership in the Nursing Profession, a Porter Lecture on Workplace Advocacy, and a Martyn Paper on Communications. 
The Porter Lecture is named for Elizabeth K. Porter, one of the founders of the economic and general welfare program in the United States.
