Women'sHall of Fame

Dear NP Colleagues:  I recently learned that Dale McCormick will be
inducted into the Maine Women's Hall of Fame on Saturday, March 17, 2006
at the University of Maine at Augusta.  The Induction Ceremony is from
2:00 pm to 4:00 pm.  Below is a web link that describes the Hall of
Fame.

Back in 1993 Dale McCormick was in the Maine State Senate when she
agreed to sponsor the first advanced practice nursing bill that removed
nurse practitioner practice from delegation by a physician.(This bill
did pass but was vetoed by Governor John McKernan. We later passed what
we have in law in
1995.)  I know it may be hard to believe now but Dale's wiliness to
sponsor this first legislation was quite courageous.  Her support,
guidance and belief in what we were trying to accomplish can not be
underestimated in our ultimate success in achieving what we have now.

If you can please attend the ceremony.  RSVP to Sally Ann Parks
453-6004.
For a card or note send to Dale who is now the Director of the:
Maine State Housing Authority
353 Water Street
Augusta, Maine 04330-4633
