RE-ELECT
Vote for Me
I look forward to your endorsement,
however, I do not take it for granted. I
think elections give members the
opportunity to review the calibre of
potential representatives, and select
the best candidates.
I strongly believe in the trust that the
public have in our profession. I believe
our voice is not only strong, but is
much stronger when we come together
to fight for better healthcare.
We are Stronger Together
I have worked hard to represent all
ONA members. Whether you work in a
hospital or the community, in long term
care or public health, work in large
facilities or small, we are stronger
together.
I’m deeply committed to continuing to
represent you for another 2 year term.
