Nurse Leaders in the Boardroom
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) recently created a new program, Pipeline to Placement: Nurse Leaders in the Boardroom, to strengthen health care organizations with the special skills and experiences that nurses can offer. Foundation staff believes that helping to place nurses on the executive boards of nonprofit health care organizations, health insurers, accrediting organizations, journals and large system providers—where their insight and skill can shape policy will ultimately improve the quality of health care in this country.
Virginia has been selected to assist RWJF, AARP, and the Center to Champion Nursing in America as a pilot for how this program may be implented at the state level. That means we need to hear from YOU, our nurse leaders in Virginia.
If you are interested in serving on a board, mentoring the future generation of nurse leaders, or just want to know more about this program, please email smotley@virginianurses.com. Download an application to the program here.
Meanwhile, we will continue to post updated resource material to this site for you to review and use to move the "pipeline" forward.
