C — President's Address from Cindy Baker-Barill
I am very excited to become the president of the Community Health Nurses Initiative Group (CHNIG) for the next two years. Past president, Jennifer Bouwmeester has been a tremendous leader and I look forward to moving forward with her assistance (no rest yet Jen!). The board brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to CHNIG with membership being comprised of Community Health Nurses from a variety of sectors; education, public health, home care and primary care.
