An organization dedicated to advancing the nurse practitioner (NP) role, AANP is governed by a board of directors comprised of volunteers—four officers and 11 regional directors—who are elected by AANP members. A Nomination Council and several committees are charged with guiding the association's efforts related to leadership, practice, research, conferences and more.
AANP welcomes your input and encourages you to participate in these leadership opportunities to help increase awareness of the NP role and improve patient care.
Meet the fifteen NPs who were elected by AANP members to serve on the board of directors (BOD). You can also learn more about AANP's Chief Executive Officer, who serves as a non-voting member of the board.
