History of the Marion Woodward Lecture
The Mr. and Mrs. P.A. Woodward Foundation has generously supported the annual Marion Woodward Lecture since 1969, when over 300 students, faculty, alumni, affiliates, nursing leaders, clinical colleagues and members of the public gathered to hear the then Executive Director of the Canadian Nurses Association, Helen Mussallem, deliver a talk entitled “Nursing Tomorrow”.
Mrs. Marion Woodward had never before allowed her name to be used in conjunction with grants from the Foundation, but through the efforts of Beth McCann, she endorsed the speaker series and hosted a tea reception at her home following the initial lecture (Zilm & Warbinek).
