The Arizona Healthcare Leadership Academy (AzHCLA) recently was accepted for a poster presentation at the annual meeting of the American Organization of Nurse Executives (AzONE), which will take place April 25-29, 2008 in Seattle. AzHCLA’s presentation, “Arizona’s Strategic Initiative to Support a Growing Demand for Healthcare Leaders,” will highlight the Leadership Academy as an outgrowth of AzHHA’s Campaign for Caring and AzONE’s Nurse Leader competency work.

The presentation also will feature the three key groups—the Arizona Nurses Association, the University of Arizona’s (UA’s) College of Nursing and the University of Arizona's Eller College of Management—all of which were instrumental in the development of AzHCLA. AzHCLA has successfully completed its fall program and will kick off 2008 with a Tier I program beginning Jan. 23 in Phoenix.
