The Cash Ceiling:  How Nurses Can Break Through to Run for Elected Office   Can't make it to the Healing Politics Campaign School for Nurses & Midwives? That's OK - we will bring it to you! Join us for a conversation between Duke University Professor of Public Policy and Sociology Nicholas Carnes, PhD and Duke University School of Nursing Vice Dean for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging, Ernest Grant, PhD, RN, FAAN. At Healing Politics we know that one of the biggest barriers to nurses running for elected office is money. We also know that representation matters! Better public policy is made when there are multiple viewpoints - including nurses & midwives - at the policy-making table. In the U.S. we’ve been governed by the privileged. Dr. Carnes's work explores why that is and what we can do to change that. Are there solutions available that will help us increase the number of nurses & midwives in elected office? Join us to find out! The agenda: In-person dinner: 6-8:30 pm ET Live-streamed event: 7:30 - 8:30 pm ET There are two options for attending this event: In-person - join the Campaign School Faculty and attendees for dinner and the discussion. Tickets are $55/person; 30 seats are available Virtual - Duke University School of Nursing is sponsoring a live broadcast of the discussion - we are bringing a bit of the Campaign School to you!

Board service is important and it's a way to increase civic engagement!  Have you wondered how to get started? Where to learn about opportunities to serve? Wonder no more! Join us for a virtual event featuring Joni Wickham from United WE and Laurie Benson from the Nurses on Boards Coalition. United WE is a nonpartisan organization that tackles barriers to women’s economic growth and unlocks women’s economic potential through research, policy solutions, and civic engagement. Joni will tell us about the organization's Appointments Project, how they help women navigate the appointment process at the city, county, and state level - and why representation matters.  Nurses on Boards Coalition (NOBC) works to improve the health of communities through the service of nurses on boards and other bodies.  Laurie will share how boards benefit from the unique perspective of nurses. She'll also talk about the work NOBC has done developing resources to support nurses seeking board appointments.
