The Nurse Faculty Leadership Academy’s (NFLA) 16 scholars, their mentors and faculty visited Indianapolis, Indiana recently for a three-day workshop, which was the kickoff for their 18-month leadership experience. This Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI) program, made possible with a grant from The Elsevier Foundation, is a strategy directed at alleviating the nursing faculty shortage by focusing on retaining and transitioning new nurse educators to the faculty role. This mentored leadership academy supports recommendations contained in the 2010 Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health. The IOM report specifically calls for “health organizations, including nursing organizations and nursing schools, to provide nurses greater opportunities to gain leadership skills and put them into practice.” The 2012-13 NFLA cohort includes 16 Scholars, 16 Mentors and eight Faculty, who represent 29 universities, 15 states and provinces, and four countries including Australia, Canada, Thailand and the United States. Tony Forrester, PhD, RN, ANEF, NFLA’s lead faculty member, shares STTI’s commitment to individual leadership development. “I want nurse faculty to be successful—more than just satisfied with their career. I want faculty to lead the innovation and provide the leadership needed to truly transform nursing education for the future,” he said. “The Elsevier Foundation is pleased to support this program that is helping to develop a new generation of nurse faculty leaders,” said David Ruth, Executive Director for the Elsevier Foundation. “We believe that when we invest in leadership and provide the opportunity for individuals to grow and influence others, we are also helping the broader community of colleagues and nursing students down the road, all of whom contribute to improving healthcare quality.” 2012-13 NFLA Participants Scholar: Jennifer J.
