Lobby Coordinator
Jenna Mogck - Acclaimed
Hello! I am Jenna Mogck and I am running for the role of Regional Lobby Coordinator for the TNO Region!
As an active steward for the past two years, as well as a previous local vice president with United Nurses of Alberta, my goal if elected is to challenge the government leaders and ensure that healthcare and nursing is on the forefront of their minds to ensure that we can correct the gaps that were accented in the healthcare system with our recent job action.
My main goal for this term would be to ensure that relationships between BCNU and government leadership is established to be respectful but subversive, as we are here to challenge the system to ensure the best outcome for our nurses, not to be friends with them!
Treasurer
Brenda Childs - Acclaimed
I have enjoyed working in the role of regional treasurer for two terms and feel I have managed to weather the demands of digital change as updatess have been made to the processes utilized while supporting members to navigate the challenges of their expenses that support union work. Being part of the regional executive team has been fulfilling and exciting at times. It has been a pleasure to meet members in meetings and in their workplaces, to encourage them to join us in growing our strength in solidarity, that members need to be informed. I believe that every day is a learning day and that the members' dues need to be protected. I feel I have established a level of trust amongst our members in doing this work and would like to continue.
