The inaugural class of the NCNA Leadership Academy was recognized on October 3, 2012 at the NCNA Convention Awards Luncheon. Graduation marked the final step in a journey that began for the inaugural class one year ago when they submitted their applications to the program.

Recognizing that leadership development is an essential element in the process of advancing the profession, the Leadership Academy was created in response to the recommendations cited in the Institute of Medicine’s national report, The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health (2010). Through this program, NCNA will identify emerging nurse leaders from across the state, encourage them with a series of leadership workshops, and assist in sharpening their skills so that they will exert a strong positive influence on the future of nursing and the healthcare industry.  

NCNA’s leadership academy is housed within NCNA’s charitable arm, the North Carolina Foundation for Nursing, and is a high-intensity, competitive application leadership development program for nurses to prepare them for positions of strategy and influence, especially as they relate to changes recommended in the national IOM Future of Nursing report. The program places a premium on educating, mentoring and grooming nurses to serve as active leaders in a variety of positions (i.e. state and local government boards/commissions, elected office, hospital boards/leadership, community boards, etc.).
