I am so excited to welcome you to the NSNA Leadership University Honor Society website.
The Honor Society recognizes NSNA members who participate in leadership activities at the school chapter, state association and NSNA nationally. This can mean being an active member of a school, state, and/or national: Board of Directors; chair or member of a committee/team; SNA project/activity involvement; Project InTouch Recruiter; state or national delegate or annual meeting representative; resolution author; candidate for office; or other leadership involvement as deemed appropriate by the SNA.
The goal of the Honor Society is to prepare future nurse leaders and to help students hone their leadership skills. As students transition to graduate nurses, they will be prepared to participate in shared governance where they begin their nursing career as well as in professional nursing and community organizations. This program was created in collaboration with Dr. Nelda Godfrey, Associate Dean for Innovative Partnerships and Practice at the University of Kansas School of Nursing and the International Society for Professional Identity in Nursing.
NSNA membership is required. However, there are no additional dues, and no GPA requirements. Simply include your leadership involvement on the Honor Society application. Your faculty advisor or state consultant will be asked to validate the application.
All Honor Society members receive a Leadership University patch and Certificate of Recognition. Honor Society pins and cords are available for purchase.
Many thanks to the members of the Honor Society who attended the 70th Anniversary Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah, April 6-10, 2022. The image below is the inaugural 2022 class of NSNA Leadership University Honor Society Members!
