BCNU Leadership Awards

Thank you to those members who nominated an inspiring colleague for a 2025 BCNU leadership award.

The nomination period is closed.

This year’s award recipients will be announced during National Nursing Week, May 12-18. Check back then to learn about the recipients.

The Excellence in Leadership and Advocacy Award honours a member who has made a difference to the health and well-being of their community and their profession through leadership, activism or social justice efforts.

The NU Leader Award honours a student member, or member with under five years nursing experience, who has demonstrated outstanding achievements in BCNU-focused advocacy and activism and who embodies union values.

Each award includes a beautiful, commissioned Indigenous artwork and $1,000.

Nominees are current and active BCNU members or student members in good standing. Nominations are submitted by fellow BCNU members. Recipients are selected at the sole discretion of the Leadership Awards selection committee. Selection is based on nomination supporting materials that meet award criteria and indicate how a nominee demonstrates BCNU core values of collectivity, democracy, equality, excellence, integrity, social justice and solidarity.
