ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉújourney leads to greater board diversity
A Nurse Leader describes the ways in which ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉúhas improved its board diversity by increasing the number of early-career nurse leaders, those serving in non-hospital settings and those from backgrounds underrepresented in nursing leadership. In 2014, ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉúadded four appointed members, who often were selected from current board members’ suggestions. ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉúin 2018 began releasing a call for nominations to recruit appointed board members, which provided a more diverse group of candidates. After 2020, ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉúbroadened board candidate criteria, so more members were eligible for positions. ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉúencourages members to apply for one of four open board positions by June 6.
