Welcome to the new and improved Arizona League for Nurse Educators

Hi! I am Catherine Mohammed your President of the Arizona League for Nurse Educators (AzLNE). I am excited to be able to lead our organization through a transition and promote a new vision for the continued growth and importance of nurse educators in the state of Arizona. I bring to this organization many years of leadership and experience and in working with this professional organization of proudful nurse educators. In my third tenure as president, I wish to lead our goals of a more inclusive collaboration of ALL Nurse Educators across the state to align closely with the standards of nursing excellence. We invite clinical nurse educators, practice educators (all areas of healthcare), professional development practitioners, practice excellence, etc. to feel that this can be your home organization!

This organization is one of 15 newly formed Alliance for Nursing Leagues. The NLN planned in September 2023 to change the structure of the state constituencies and gave the Leagues until 2025 to restructure their Leagues or cease the state organization. This past year, our league worked on a new Strategic Plan, new goals, vision, and mission and voted to continue our work for the state of Arizona. Our organization/League is young, only16 years old, and is growing at a steady rate. We encourage all nurse educators across the continuum of care to join but you do not have to be an official educator to join. The membership rate is very reasonable-only $60.00 a year. We offer access to our website, volunteer activities, discounts for local conferences, and keep you up to date with the national education initiatives and opportunities.

Our focus will be to mentor and offer more scholarship opportunities for all nurses across the state—how to write an abstract, how to submit an abstract, how to make a poster, how to present a poster, how to create a podium presentation and overall-share your great research and EBP changes! Our late Fall Event (2025) for this year is a Research Conference opportunity to share your work. Information will be coming your way soon! In Spring 2026, we plan to have an onsite conference with virtual opportunities for presenting and attending included to discuss the AI/Technology coming our way! This will be an example of the caliber of speakers that this organization brings to Arizona not only to enrich us as nurse educators but to provide leadership and professional skills as well. Once again, please consider joining the organization and being involved in this important and influential nursing organization.

In your service, Catherine J. Mohammed PhD, MPhil, MN, RN, CNE
