Many thanks to all involved!
CASN held its 2023 Council Meeting on November 13 and 14. The in-person event was co-chaired by CASN President Dr. Alice Gaudine and CASN President-Elect Dr. Suzanne Harrison. 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 and finances. We also shared the priorities that will guide CASN into 2028 with a presentation of the Association’s new strategic plan. We were privileged to host a variety of presenters and speakers who addressed important nursing education topics, which inspired meaningful discussions and reflection from participants from across the country.
We marked the 10th anniversary of Quality Advancement in Nursing Education – Avancées en formation infirmière (QANE-AFI), CASN’s bilingual academic journal. During the CASN awards ceremony, we honoured colleagues for their contributions to nursing education. The Council Meeting concluded following the announcement of the results of the 2023–24 election of individuals to CASN’s Board of Directors, Awards and Nomination Committee, and CASN Accreditation Bureau.
CASN extends our thanks to the event sponsors, as well as the Pat Griffin virtual silent auction donors and participants who helped raise over $2,525 in support of nursing education research. Finally, we would like to thank the attendees for joining us in person during this critical time for nursing education. For a full recap of the event, please see the Summary of Events.
Council Was Simultaneously Translated!
To improve the bilingualism of our meeting, we piloted a new system of simultaneous interpretation in French and English throughout our two-day council meeting. This system enabled participants to understand what was being said in either language and allowed presenters to speak in their preferred language.
