Honoring Excellence. Inspiring the Future.

About the Campaign

The Celebrating Our Fellowship campaign is your opportunity to shine an even brighter spotlight on the Academy’s newest Class of Fellows, Honorary Fellows, Living Legends, awardees, and supportive sponsors.

Each year at our Health Policy Conference, we induct extraordinary nursing and health care leaders from around the globe—individuals whose vision, expertise, and dedication are transforming health policy and advancing health equity. These moments of recognition are more than ceremonial; they affirm the vital role each honoree plays in shaping a healthier future for all.

By contributing to this campaign, you’re doing more than recognizing an individual—you’re investing in the Academy’s vision of Healthy Lives for All People. Your gift celebrates excellence, strengthens our shared work, and inspires the next generation of leaders.
