Overview
On May 31, 2018 we came under The Regulated Health Professions Act and our board is now called a council.
Council sets the vision and strategic direction for the College and governs in the interest of the public. This means they:
- set the direction of the College including developing strategic priorities, a vision and values
- anticipate and plan for trends in society, health care, and registered nursing practice
- understand and lead the change in health regulation
Our council is made up of six RNs and five public representatives in the following positions:
- Chair
- Chair-elect
- Registered nurses
- Public representatives (two of whom are appointed by the Government of Manitoba)
