Mentorship Leadership Learning Collaborative Call – October 2013
In October 2013, the Leadership Learning Collaborative convened a teleconference to discuss “Mentorship.”
Leadership Learning Collaborative teleconferences are designed to connect state Action Coalitions with people, ideas and programs that are preparing nurses to lead. The calls offer a discussion forum around topics most relevant to the leadership work that is happening within states or nationally.
On this call, representatives from Sigma Theta Tau International and the Michigan and New York Action Coalitions discussed their experiences building Mentorship programs. Presenters included:
- Barbara Given, PhD, RN, FAAN, Director of the PhD Program for the College of Nursing and the Interim Director of the Center for Innovation and Research a partnership between Sparrow Health System and Michigan State University.
