Leadership Objectives
 Collaborate with schools of nursing to ensure the curriculum
focuses on leadership skills necessary for today’s complex
healthcare environment
 Recognize leaders “from the bedside to the boardroom” at the
annual Virginia Nurses Foundation Excellence in Nursing gala
 Continue to support the current and expanded Nurse Leadership
Institute, a program of the Richmond Memorial Health
Foundation and a 2007 Partners Investing in Nursing’s Future
(PIN) grantee, by participating on committees, providing
scholarships, assisting in encouraging employers to nominate
fellows and nurses to serve as faculty
Leadership Objectives
 Continue “Nurse Leaders in the Boardroom” program
piloted with Robert Wood Johnson and AARP in
September, 2009
 Continue to determine strategic boards to which
nurses could be appointed and work with
stakeholders to identify, mentor, and recommend
individuals for those appointments
Nurses on Boards
 The initial Leadership Workgroup Strategy session for
Nurses on Boards was in September of 2011.
 The Leadership Workgroup identified the need for 3
Action Sub-Committees to assist with meeting this
objective.
 The team utilized Wiki Space and Conference Calls to
further develop this initiative.
Action Sub-Committee #1
 Led by Chelsea Savage
 Action Committee # 1 developed a list of boards that
nurses should be serving on. The Leadership
Workgroup identified that priority boards should fall
into the categories of Advocacy, Community, and
Policy.
 The board will be posted on the VAC and VNA websites.
Action Sub-Committee #2
 Led by Thelma Roach-Serry
 Action Committee #2 developed a survey to identify
nurses currently serving on boards, to determine
the boards they serve on, and if they are interested
in mentoring others. The survey also asked nurses
not currently serving on boards if they were
interested in board mentorship, what type of board
they were interested in serving on, and why.
 342 Participants
 281 Completed the Nurses on Boards Survey
Action Sub-Committee # 3
 Led by Pat Laine
 Action Committee # 3 developed a toolkit of
resources to prepare nurses to serve on boards.
 Includes mentorship resources, leadership
development programs available to nurses, and
board leadership development resources
