Task Force (TF) goals: Task Force (TF) goals:

1. Support NOB goal of 10K nurses on boards nationally by 2020
2. Develop educational resources for AZ nurses to prepare for a NOB position
3. Develop NOB mentoring program
4. Develop program to identify potential placements for NOB in AZ
5. Develop funding stream

Since 2014, the AZ NOB TF has been working to improve the health of Az communities through the service of nurses on boards. A 2014 survey of AZ nurses showed that while less than 1% of Az nurses served on health-related boards, more than 3% were interested in serving on a board. Our goal is to make this a reality by offering education, mentorship and support. By identifying nurses wishing to serve on boards and those wishing to mentor, we will be able to move the needle to achieve the national goal.

The TF prepares educational resources for Az nurses. Interested nurses are encouraged to go to the NOBC website, www.nursesonboardscoalition.org.Here you will find lists of “Board Core Competencies” and “Preparation and Education resources” that will help you to begin, or continue, your service on boards journey. They have many free webinars available to you. Here are a few to check out:

• The History and Mission of NOBC
