After joining the team as Interim Executive Director in late August, we are delighted that Kendra Johnston has accepted the permanent role of Executive Director here at the BCCFP!
Kendra’s first official day today marks the beginning of a new chapter for the organization and we are very excited for what lies ahead.
Below is a note from Kendra to our members:
“To all of those that I’ve had the pleasure of connecting with over the last month, thank you for the warm welcome! With Toby’s departure after more than a decade at the helm, I want to firstly express my deep gratitude for the trust and confidence of the Board. It’s an incredible privilege to serve as the Executive Director of an association that plays such a crucial role in BC’s healthcare landscape.
As an experienced community builder and not-for-profit leader, with a proven track record of effective management, strategic planning and team building, I am passionate about making a positive impact here.
As we move forward, I envision our College as a dynamic organization that empowers family physicians to thrive in an ever-evolving healthcare landscape. We will continue to provide education, support, and resources to enhance the practice of family medicine in our province.
I also want to emphasize that none of this can be achieved without your support, collaboration, and dedication. I believe in the strength of our community, and I am eager to work alongside each and every one of you to achieve our shared goals.
I am truly excited about the journey ahead and the opportunities we have to make family medicine a truly sustainable career. Together, we can lead the way in advancing family medicine and shaping the future of healthcare in our province.
Thank you for entrusting me with this responsibility, and I look forward to working closely with all of you in the coming months and years.”
