This experience provided me with the opportunity to collaborate with visionary nurse leaders who are committed to advancing nursing education, shaping the future of the profession, and supporting nurse educators nationwide. I am grateful for the relationships, leadership experiences, and the opportunity to contribute to the NLN's enduring mission."
