Join the Faculty for Leadership Challenge 2006

The city limits of Austin, Texas will be host to Leadership Challenge 2006, February 23-26, 2006. The selection process is about to begin, and individuals interested in joining the faculty are encouraged to submit course proposals before the deadline – March 18, 2005.

Share your knowledge and experience in the areas of management, operations, government affairs, technology, team building, research, education, advance practice, and personal and professional development. Leadership Challenge attracts international attendance, including advanced practice nurses, trauma coordinators, managers, administrators, medical directors, clinical specialists, prehospital coordinators, and educators.

The standard concurrent course length is 75 minutes. Faculty are encouraged to present two separate topics, or be prepared to repeat their lecture(s). Courses requiring multiple faculty are discouraged unless a convincing need can be demonstrated. Proposals for workshops involving interactive and in-depth content presentations are also requested. These sessions should be 3-8 hours in length. Course content should be designated as intended for new nurse leaders and managers or for those with greater experience.

Course proposals must be submitted in the format outlined or if you prefer, an interactive electronic form can be obtained by contacting ENA Educational Services at LeadershipChallenge@ena.org. If you prefer to prepare your course proposal independently, mail your proposal to:
