Voice Your InterestThe College maintains a database of registered nurses and members of the public interested in taking an active role in the College. We collect this data through our Voice Your Interest form available via our website to match volunteers with appropriate volunteer opportunities. Experience, area of practice and the types of activities you’ve indicated you are prepared to serve in are all considered when appointments are made to CRNM committees, or when outside agencies seek input and representation from the College and registered nurses.Here is how the process works. Once a request for a committee member or other volunteer is received, we search our database for individuals whose experience and education most closely fit the request. We then contact the individuals to ascertain their interest in serving on a particular committee. At that time, the term of office and level of commitment required is discussed. Once we have confirmed interest, the individuals’ names are forwarded to the Appointments Committee for consideration. Your ideas are vital in developing policy and supports that are relevant to registered nurses and the health of Manitobans. Please contribute to the vitality of the College and the betterment of health and nursing by voicing your interest. Complete a Voice Your Interest form today!
