Thank you so much for the great question, Michele! The GNLI programme cost was reduced this year due to the programme moving to a virtual format and no longer requiring housing scholars in Geneva. There is funding available to nurses from low income countries in the form of subsidies, which is an important part of ensuring equity of access to these kinds of opportunities globally. I'm immensely grateful to NNPBC for being my sponsoring organization and for enabling my participation. The Association has not only been a financial contributor to my participation but has also worked alongside me as the Canadian scholar to share the experience and learnings with nurses across BC, Canada, and the world. In addition, I was supported by my employer in liberating time intermittently over the past year to enable my participation, though with the time difference between Canada and Geneva many sessions took place at night or in the early morning. I've also been supported by my PhD program leaders at the University of Victoria, Dr. Susan Duncan and Dr. Lorelei Newton, and my GNLI programme mentor, Dr. Lynn Stevenson. Nurses' participation in policy and governance requires supportive infrastructure. For me, that infrastructure was an expansive community of support including NNPBC, a community for which I am immensely grateful.
