Annual General Meeting
The 2010 CLPNBC Conference & AGM was held on Thursday, June 10th at The Italian Cultural Centre in East Vancouver.
This year's Conference and AGM marked some notable firsts for the College and a few lasts. For the first time, this year's event was held at the Italian Cultural Centre in East Vancouver, with 360 attendees. It was also the last AGM for a long standing and dedicated Board Member and the current Chair, Bernice Crockett, who has come to the end of her final term on the Board. The theme of the meeting was "LPNs Leading Change" and it could not have been more apt. The profession has seen many positive changes and challenges this past year and we look forward to more interesting times ahead.
This year's event was a resounding success and the College would like to express deep gratitude to its sponsors, exhibitors, door-prize contributors, speakers, staff and all the registrants and students whose attendance, contributions, time and patience make it all happen.
This year's line-up of Speakers was exceptional and for the first time included a number of LPNs, and others, who are leading the way forward.
Sponsors are an essential part of our AGM and Conference, helping us to make it possible and contributing in no small part to its success!
We are also fortunate to receive support from organizations who participate each year as Exhibitors; showcasing their services, products and educational opportunities, and Prize contributors who always give generously. Registrants always look forward to this part of the Conference.
