With summer in our wings, many of you will be on a fun filled vacation with family and friends. In July, the Executive Board of CBSPAN will have their Leadership Retreat. During this time, we will collaborate to review our strategic plan and consider succession planning as part of our preparation for the future.
Here at CBSPAN, we are looking for new leaders to continue our mission to promote quality and cost effective care for patients, their families, and the community, through public and professional education and standards of practice. The selection of competent candidates who are representative of our mission, vision, and goals is the first step in succession planning.
We have confidence in the strengths, knowledge, skills and abilities of those we mentor. We will motivate the future leaders, support them and inspire confidence in their abilities. Training, mentoring and coaching are key concepts in succession planning. Leadership increases one’s scope of responsibilities and requires a variety of skills and knowledge. We will support the educational process as they pertain to growth within CBSPAN.
We are here to foster and implement team-building strategies and collaboration and provide feedback that is constructive and promotes improvement. Succession planning maintains accountability and stability of leadership change. We lead by example and invite members to our meetings. We want you to explore all that CBSPAN has to offer professionally.
The key indicator to the continued growth and success of CBSPAN is by mentoring our future leaders. Recruiting and retaining the best talent, while recognizing volunteerism, contributes to the success of our organization. It is the responsibility of the leaders of today to prepare the leaders of tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Nickcole D. Price BSN, RN, CPAN, CAPA

Our goal is to provide opportunities for our members to network, share ideas, celebrate successes, as well as educate our members on issues effecting perianesthesia nursing. This year one of our goals was to promote CPAN/CAPA certification by offering a study group.
