Judy Hanson

Judy graduated with a Master of Nursing degree from the University of Calgary in 1983. She is currently in her second year of Chairing the Alumni Gold Committee and is a member of the Faculty Engagement Committee. As a nursing administrator and leader, she is instrumental in the transition from standalone hospital-based administration to the Calgary Health Region and brought nurses together to achieve great success amidst a changing landscape.

Her governance experience includes two full terms on two not-for-profit boards, one responsible for health care delivery and the other focused on education and research. Building strong relationships, teamwork and lifelong learning are essential to this Board candidate’s performance. She also completed the Haskayne Not for Profit Governance Essentials program (NFPGEP) in 2014. In August Judy retired from her faculty position in the U of C Faculty of Nursing undergraduate program after many years of rewarding teaching work. She remains active in both research activities and community projects.
