It seems to be a steadily growing small SIG with a core devoted to keeping it going and with help of National, I think

XIII. SIG VIRTUAL COMMUNITY – LIST HOW YOU HAVE USED YOUR SITE:
It serves as an area for all members to see minutes of meetings.
It serves leadership of the SIG with resources.
It has information that is up to date for oncology nurses to refer to when looking for cultural resources.
XIV. COLLABORATIONS (ONS, SIGS, ETC.): 0
XV. ADDITIONAL: COMMENTS, QUESTIONS, PROBLEMS, AND SOLUTIONS: We had a couple people who
wanted to join our SIG last year after interest was stirred up at Congress. I received emails asking how to
join out of sequence with paying annual dues. The web site would not work. I do not know what Carol did to
solve this problem, but she did something and I think they were able to join. I would hope that if ONS
members want to be in our SIG that they could join at any time of the year!
