Hello CNSA members!
My name is Sheren Anwar Siani and I currently serve as both CNSA Vice-President and Chair of the Awards Committee. The committee has received a large number of applications this year, including submissions in either English and French. There were many strong candidates this year and I would like to commend all of your hard work, contribution, and passion that you have for such diverse aspects of nursing! Together with the committee and our stakeholders, I will be working to create new awards and showcase the achievements of our members, so stay tuned! Feel free to contact me at awards@cnsa.ca for any award-related questions or feedback – we would love to hear from you!
