This award provides an opportunity for the BC Lower Mainland chapter to recognize an individual who has made a significant contribution to the chapter.

Karen Baillie provided significant leadership of the BC Lower Mainland Chapter as a past chair of the chapter.

Karen holds her Canadian Health Executive designation (CHE). In October 2014, the Mennonite Benevolent Society (Menno Place) and the Canadian College of Health Leaders (CCHL) signed the first agreement in British Columbia health care that commits to setting the Certified Health Executive (CHE) as a standard for leaders to develop skills and competencies of health leaders in Canada. This will help raise the level of leadership and management in the care of seniors in the province of British Columbia.
