Nursing Impact: Journey to a Federal Appointment

Webinar Overview
AACN will host a live panel of Nursing Professionals who hold federal council and committee positions to give insight into the nomination, interview, and selection process. Nursing professionals are underrepresented on federal councils and can give significant insight into federal health policy that would benefit the nation. To address this issue, AACN, along with over 30 other nursing professional organizations have come together to form a nomination consortium nominating nursing professionals such as our notable panelists to federal appointments. This webinar will provide key insight into the importance of nursing professionals seeking nomination to these appointments in order to contribute to the ongoing design and innovation of our nation’s health care.

Objectives

• Increase knowledge and awareness of federal council and committee appointments open to Nursing Professionals.
• Promote the work AACN and partner nursing organizations have done through our nomination consortium.
• Draw in increased numbers of potential nursing professionals open for consideration to open federal appointments.
