This is a space for us all to benefit from the vast range of professional development opportunities available in our community.

Member Spotlight: Meet Our Leadership Development Champions

This section showcases senior BCYP nursing leaders who have generously offered their time, expertise, and experience to support colleagues across the network. By sharing their leadership journey and making themselves available for guidance, they are helping to break down barriers and make professional development more accessible to everyone—regardless of role or location.

These leaders welcome contact from network members seeking advice, mentorship, or simply a sounding board for ideas. Their openness gives you the confidence and permission to reach out, start conversations, and explore new opportunities for growth. Browse their profiles, learn about their experiences, and connect with them to start building your own leadership journey.
