Paul Major Lectureship

The Paula Major Award honors nurses who have met challenges in gynecologic oncology nursing, and is a reward for your accomplishments in the field. Paula Major was a founding member of the SGNO. She lost her own courageous fight against cancer in the summer of 2002. Paula remained an active member, continuing to mentor and support GYN Oncology Nurses throughout her career. In her honor, this memorial lectureship has been created to provide the opportunity for a GYN Oncology Nurse involved in direct patient care to participate in the annual symposium. The recipient of the Paula Major Lectureship award will receive a free registration to attend the symposium and a $500 cash award.

Silent Auction

There will be a silent auction of items contributed by the members of SGNO. The proceeds of this auction will go towards the Paula Major Lectureship.
