Nursing Advisory Board

The ANIEA Advisory Board serves as a strategic thought-partner to support the ANIEA’s mission, growth, and long-term sustainability. Advisory Board members provide guidance, insight, and expertise drawn from their professional, academic, community, or global experiences, helping inform ANIEA’s programs and priorities.

The Advisory Board does not engage in day-to-day operations or committee work. Instead, members offer high-level perspective, reflective feedback, and strategic recommendations that strengthen ANIEA’s impact across nursing education, workforce development, community initiatives, and global partnerships.

  • Provide strategic guidance and subject-matter insight

  • Offer feedback on emerging initiatives, programs, and partnerships

  • Share expertise related to nursing education, leadership, policy, community engagement, or global health

  • Serve as ambassadors for ANIEA’s mission within professional and community networks

Commitment

  • Meeting frequency: Quarterly

  • Term: One year, renewable

  • Engagement level: Advisory and consultative (no operational responsibilities)

The Advisory Board plays a vital role in ensuring ANIEA remains responsive, innovative, and aligned with the evolving needs of nurses, educators, communities, and global partners.

Community Advisory Board

ANIEA believes that meaningful health innovation must include the voices of the communities it aims to serve. Our Community Advisory Board brings together individuals from diverse backgrounds to help guide ANIEA’s programs and outreach efforts.

We invite community members who are not healthcare professionals to share their lived experiences, insights, and perspectives. Community leaders, policymakers, parents, youth representatives, educators, and advocates all play an important role in helping ANIEA understand real-world needs and opportunities.

The Community Advisory Board provides feedback and guidance on community initiatives, educational programming, and partnerships to ensure ANIEA’s work remains responsive, equitable, and grounded in community priorities.

  • Policymakers or public servants

  • Parents and caregivers

  • Youth and young adult representatives

  • Educators or community organizers

  • Individuals passionate about community health and equity

Commitment

  • Term: One and Two-year appointment (renewable)

The Community Advisory Board members help ensure that ANIEA’s programs reflect the needs, priorities, and voices of the communities we serve.
