West Kootenay

I have previously had the privilege of serving as a steward, young nurses network rep, steward liaison, and rural ratio rep. During that time, I've had the opportunity to meet many members across the region and feel I am ready to take on a new challenge in running for treasurer. I hope to be able to spend the next term collaborating with the regional executive team to bring the membership education, outreach and events where they feel their union dues are not spent wisely while also fulfilling the unions strategic directions effectively.

My name is Sam, and I’m running for Treasurer because I believe our members deserve transparency, accountability, and responsible stewardship of their resources. I’ve worked in health care since 2011, been a nurse since 2021, and a BCNU Steward since 2024. I bring strong organization, attention to detail, and a genuine passion for numbers—and perhaps an excessive love of Excel spreadsheets! I’ve created spreadsheets for payroll, budgeting, hobbies, and even tracking habits. I enjoy organizing information, finding patterns, and making things easy to understand. I want to bring these skills to the Treasurer role and help ensure our union’s finances are managed responsibly, transparently, and with our members’ best interests at heart.
