title: Educating nurse leaders for board service: the northwest organization of nurse executives' story.
abstract: As more nurses consider serving on boards, it is important that they have resources to help them prepare for trustee positions. The Northwest Organization of Nurse Executives (NWONE) has recently put together a program to introduce nurse leaders to these roles. A variety of experts and experienced nurse board members shared their experiences and advice to the organization's members. NWONE encourages other organizations to support individuals who can add value to governance as we move into the next era.
