The Emerging Leaders Program is an intensive, yearlong leadership development experience designed to help participants sharpen their leadership purpose, expand their strategic impact, and become catalysts for meaningful change in nursing and health care systems.
Partially sponsored by AWHONN’s Every Woman, Every Baby, the Emerging Leaders Program strongly encourages applications from nurses in historically under-represented communities, including those across diverse backgrounds of race, age, gender, sexual orientation, geography, and nursing specialty.
