PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Kathleen Parker
Ph.D., APRN, FNP-BC
The Association of Black Nursing Faculty, Inc. (ABNF) welcomes you back from a summer; hopefully, of rest, restoration, and relaxation! The mission of ABNF to promote and widely disseminate the research and other scholarly works of the minority nurse academician that remain relevant. We had an awesome 35th Annual Meeting and Scientific Conference at the beautiful Nassau Bahama’s Atlantis Paradise Resort on June 9-12, 2022. As we gained the most recent evidence and research on “Advancing Health Equity in Ethnically Diverse Populations through Practice, Research, Education, and Policy (PREP)”, we were able to make new connections; strengthen the current ones; and reconnect with others.
ABNF LEADERSHIP & PUBLIC POLICY MENTORING FELLOWSHIP
The ABNF Leadership & Public Policy Mentoring Fellowship seeks to connect, inspire and mentor ethnically diverse nurse educators.
This Fellowship is designed for ethnically diverse nurses, holding academic appointments at schools of nursing, or nursing education positions at medical centers and healthcare organizations nationwide, who are seeking to engage in activities that provide mentorship; promote diversity; advance leadership concepts; and support Fellows in the integration of public policy and advocacy into their teaching, research, and service pursuits.
Applications due no later than November 1, 2022.
