Purpose
The purpose of the NPD Leadership Academy is to facilitate succession planning by preparing NPD practicioners to assume leadership roles in NPD in a variety of settings.
Overview
The NPD Leadership Academy is a 12-month mentored program based on the content of Leadership in Nursing Professional Development: An Organization and System Focus, (2nd ed.). (Harper, 2022). The Academy consists of a live face-to-face pre-convention workshop followed by live seminars throughout the year for each section of the text. Participants complete relevant, asynchronous assignments between seminars. In addition, a practice-based leadership project is completed over the course of the year. Participants share their initiative outcomes at the 2025 ANPD Aspire Convention.
