Nominations are now being accepted for the position of Directors in Regions 2 (Saint John & Charlotte County), 4 (Edmundston) and 6 (Bathurst, Acadian Peninsula).

As per NANB by-laws, nursing positions on the Board of Directors continues to welcome all registrants in good standing. However, following a governance review we have adopted a best practice in Board composition by introducing a competency matrix model that identifies skill-gaps for recruitment efforts that would strengthen the Board with future decision making. Current Board composition would indicate a need for nurses with professional experience in administration/management, community health (EMP or PH), and or clinical practice.

The deadline for nominations is February 28, 2022. For more information and nomination forms, visit NANB's website.

NANB has adopted new Standards for Nursing Education and associated program review process. Extensive work was completed as part of this project.
