PrintUNA AGM set for October 17-19
United Nurses of Alberta's Annual General Meeting is being held on October 17, 18 and 19 in Edmonton. Including delegates, observers, staff, and representatives of other unions and organizations, about 1,000 people are expected to attend the event at the EXPO Centre.
While this is not UNA’s first in-person AGM since the end of pandemic restrictions, the disruption caused a change in the dates of some elections from their previous schedules, which has now been made permanent. Elections will be held for first vice-president and secretary-treasurer, as well as for representatives in all regional districts.
In addition to the normal business of the AGM, delegates will hear from a number of speakers, including keynote speaker Dr. Brian Goldman, an Emergency Room physician in Toronto who is host of the award-winning CBC Radio current affairs series, White Coat, Black Art.
He is also the author of a book describing his experiences as an ER physician, The Night Shift: Real Life in the Heart of the ER, published in 2010, and books on The Secret Language of Doctors (2015), The Power of Kindness (2018) and The Power of Teamwork (2022). Goldman is scheduled to speak on the morning of Thursday, October 19.
