The Nominating Committee of CAFCN, consisting of Cindy Lazenby, Pat MacDonald and Angi Jones, is charged with the responsibility of ensuring continuity by nominating a slate of officers of the association for the voting body at the annual general meeting for committee positions open in 2019.

Serving on the Executive Committee or other committee positions of CAFCN is an excellent way to participate at the national level. This offers the opportunity to meet a wide range of CAFCN members, network with allied professional groups and work with other motivated and experience committee members.

The CAFCN Nominating Committee is requesting applications from the membership for open positions. The Nominating Committee will review all applications and the final selection of candidates is at the discretion of the CAFCN Nominating Committee and approved by the Executive Committee. The Nominating Committee slate of candidates will be announced on April 26, 2019.

Positions Open for 2019:

Membership chair (executive)
Secretary (executive)
Provincial and Territorial Advisors (up to 12)
Policy Committee (2)
Nominating Committee (2)
Bylaw Committee (3)
Marketing Committee (1)

Deadline for applications is March 15th, 2019.

For the first time, we have CAFCN logo’d items for sale at the conference!

Order and pay online and pick up your items at the conference.

Not able to make it to the conference? Not necessarily a problem! Although all items must be picked up at the conference, you can pre-order online and make arranagements with friend to bring home your goodies.

We anticipate showcasing more than 20 exhibitors and attracting approximately 150 foot care nurses from both Canada and the US. As a participant, you will have an opportunity to enjoy the presentations, and connect directly with those who use your products or information on a daily basis. Having suppliers of foot care products and information at the conference has always been a draw for our delegates. While phone calls and emails are a great way to communicate, face-to-face interaction is a welcome change!

If you have any questions or would like to be added to our notification list, please contact exhibitor@cafcn.ca.
