Nursing Leadership Award

Eligibility

This award is open to College members and non-members alike, operating in Canada. To be considered for this award, nominees must:

• be a nurse employed at the director or vice-president level who has demonstrated an ongoing commitment to quality and leadership in nursing;
• seek to advance nursing at every level, remove barriers between providers and build systems of quality care for patients;
• have demonstrated measurable improvements in the programs that they have delivered within their organization; and
• have made an impact outside of their organization.

Summary

The Nursing Leadership Award builds on the themes of patient centered care and leadership, and honours those who demonstrate an ongoing commitment to excellence in these areas. The winner will receive an etched glass trophy. Should the future permit us to return to an in-person event, the recipient will also receive paid travel and accommodations to attend the College’s Honouring Health Leadership event, and a complimentary registration to the CCHL National Conference.
