The Nurses on Boards Coalition (NOBC) proudly celebrates four of our board members who have been selected for induction into the American Academy of Nursing’s 2026 Class of Fellows. This prestigious recognition honors nurse leaders whose influence strengthens health policy, advances equity, and elevates the profession’s impact across communities and care systems.
Their induction reflects not only their individual achievements, but also the collective power of nurse leaders serving on boards to shape decisions that improve health for all. Congratulations to ALL the new Fellows, we look forward to celebrating each of you at the Academy.
