The BC and Yukon Branch welcomed new members to the 2026–27 Board of Directors at the annual meeting earlier this month. We would like to commend the outgoing board members, whose expertise and service made meaningful contributions to the Branch’s successes over the past year. Board members generously volunteer their time, experience, and skills to support the kidney community, offering valuable insight into patient needs and opportunities.
We extend our sincere thanks to Dr. Mike Bevilacqua, Wayde Hayley, Randy Hnatko, Lois Neufeld, Paul Ravelle, Sharon Recalma, Craig Settee, and Michelle Zuccaro for their dedication and guidance. Special appreciation goes to outgoing president Glenn Powers for his leadership. We are grateful that he will continue to serve as past president, providing continuity and support to our new president, Megan Owen-Evans.
We look forward to the year ahead.
