Not able to join us at the 2025 Academic Nursing Leadership Conference Hill Day? Want to engage with your members of Congress to ensure they preserve federal programs and agencies that support nursing education, workforce, and research?

Then sign up to be an AACN Advocate today!

AACN Advocates are deans, directors, faculty, students, and other stakeholders who advance the voice of academic nursing in healthcare and higher education policy. This grassroots network has nearly 10,000 members and counting! As an AACN Advocate, you will receive timely Action Alerts so you can easily contact your Members of Congress to take action on key federal policy issues.

On Monday, November 3 at 9:00 AM (ET), AACN Advocates will have a chance to join colleagues for a virtual Hill Day where you can ask your Congressional Representatives to protect critical federal infrastructure that supports the current and future nursing workforce, invest in funding for Title VIII programs and the National Institute of Nursing Research in FY 2026, and cosponsor and pass the Title VIII Nursing Workforce Reauthorization Act of 2025 (S.1874/H.R.3593).

This is a one-day only event so sign up to be an AACN Advocate today!
