CASN thanks you for a wonderful 2022 Council meeting!
CASN held its 2022 Virtual Council Meeting from November 21-22. The event was chaired by CASN President, Linda Patrick, and Executive Director, Cynthia Baker.
We were honoured by an opening song and blessing from Grandmother Irene Compton of the Minwaashin Lodge. We heard important updates on the Association’s operations, strategic initiatives, finances, and accreditation programs.
We were privileged to host a variety of presenters and speakers who promoted important nursing education topics, which inspired meaningful discussions and reflection from participants from across the country and beyond.
During the CASN Awards ceremony, we honoured esteemed colleagues for their contributions to nursing education.
The Council meeting concluded following the introduction of the 2022/2023 CASN Board of Directors, introduction of the Awards and Nomination Committee members and CASN Accreditation Bureau members.
CASN extends our thanks to the event sponsors, and Pat Griffin virtual silent auction donors and participants who helped raise over $850 in support of nursing education research.
Finally, we would like to thank the more than 260 attendees from across the country and beyond for joining us virtually during this critical time for nursing education, and for helping make the 2022 CASN Council a success.
