Meet the RNU Board of Directors for 2021-2023

March 22, 2022

RNU’s Board of Directors is responsible for setting the strategic direction of the organization. The board is comprised of elected member representatives, made up of registered nurses and nurse practitioners from across Newfoundland and Labrador. There is a provincial president, vice president, secretary-treasurer, and representatives from the nine RNU regions in the province. In addition, RNU’s executive director sits on the board as a non-voting member. The board meets regularly to develop and manage RNU’s affairs between biennial conventions, and acts on your behalf at the provincial table. Meet the team and find out who represents your region!
