Learning Objective 1: identify the unique leadership skill development offered by STTI through the Board Leadership Development Program.

Learning Objective 2: recognize diverse opportunities offered when a mentor/mentee relationship promotes the advancement of nursing leadership through active participation in non-profit boards.

One goal of Vision 2020 is related to the development of
leadership resources. STTI members already possess leadership
characteristics that can be further developed and refined via participation
in the Board Leadership Development (BLD) program.  Unique to this
leadership experience is individual participant mentorship by an active,
national or international board member.  Preparatory and ongoing
educational offerings that are an integral part of the BLD program will be
addressed, as well as, the various approaches to serving as a board member
encountered during the mentoring relationships. Knowledge learned and
experiences gained through the BLD will be discussed and the program
application process will be detailed.
