Board of Directors
AACN is governed by an 11-member Board of Directors, each of whom represents a member institution. The Association has standing committees on Government Affairs, Membership, Programs, and other areas of AACN operations; maintains task forces on such professional concerns as faculty development; and sponsors interest groups in six areas of nursing education, practice, and scholarship.
