Professional bursary winner, 2008 AHP Canada Regional Conference in Halifax, NS

"We gave an emotional report to the Board on why this conference was so critical to our future success. The AHP Conference expense is by far the best money that any Foundation could spend. It is an investment in the future of our Community Hospital. We will definitely be attending and looking forward to next year's conference!”   Read more.

2007 Madison Institute Bursary Winner

“As I reflect on my recent trip to the Madison Institute and my five days in the Major Gifts track, this experience has truly exceeded and surpassed my expectations. The information that was discussed and reading supplements in the famous “red binder” are a testament of a highly focused course that is well worth the cost.”
