Do you have what it takes to be a leader? One of NCNA’s most popular and successful programs is our Leadership Academy.

Statement of Purpose: The Leadership Academy program empowers nurses to think outside the box while improving their skills as communicators and advocates in professional, civic, and community arenas. The program is a high-intensity, six-day immersion that includes a series of leadership workshops that prompt participants to consider how leadership happens and what perils and possibilities are present as nurses lead themselves, others, and the community.

“The Leadership Academy made learning fun in a collegial environment. The skills I obtained will help me to excel not only professionally, but personally. I am a better team member and leader for the experiences the Academy provided, and I have created lasting relationships with nursing professionals across the state. I would strongly encourage others to use this valuable tool in helping to develop their best self!”
