To help us structure the academy and to develop a rigorous and prestigious Fellowship program, we are delighted to announce the appointment of 12 Charter Fellows of the academy — the highest honour for Canada’s most accomplished nursing leaders in clinical practice, education, administration, research and policy.

Please join me in congratulating our Charter Fellows; we will celebrate them well in the inaugural induction of Fellows as soon as we are able to gather again!
