The membership is divided into sixteen separate regions, and includes registered and licensed graduate nurses. The voting body at our annual convention consists of elected delegates from each region and the 28 members of the BCNU Council . These nurses are responsible for establishing key policy directions, bylaws, and the constitution that governs the Union's actions. The Council is central to the operation of our member-driven organization. It's composed of elected reps from all ten regions, steward reps from the three main bargaining groups, the president, vice-president, treasurer, and executive councilors.
Council meets regularly to plan and manage BCNU business, and to set policy.
The Council has developed BCNU's strategic objectives for serving members. Council also develops and administers the Union's annual budget reports to the annual convention on the Union's financial status, and authorizes all new staff positions.
