Check out the timestamps below to help you navigate through the many topics we discussed.

On This Episode:

We’re excited to welcome Julie Linton, DNAP, APRN, CRNA back to the show to explore the development and implementation of a standardized orientation program for state associations. She has undertaken a significant doctoral project on this subject and she is going to share her insights and findings with us. Today’s show will get into the motivation behind her project, process ​of ​developing ​and ​implementing ​the ​pilot ​program, ​and ​the ​potential ​impact ​of ​standardized ​orientations ​on ​the ​leadership ​and ​governance ​of ​state ​associations.

Garry Bridges, president of the NBCRNA, sits in as a guest co-host today and we’re excited to have him. Leadership and governance play pivotal roles in shaping the future of the anesthesiology profession, which is why we wanted to learn more about Julie’s findings. Her ​work ​aims ​to ​improve ​the ​effectiveness ​and ​efficiency ​of ​state ​board ​orientations, ​ensuring ​that ​board ​members ​are ​well-prepared ​to ​fulfill ​their ​roles ​and ​responsibilities. This work is not only transformative but also essential for the future of nurse anesthesiology leadership.

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

  • Why many state boards still don’t fully understand how to run a board meeting.
  • What’s the most effective way to do board orientations?
  • Establish what you want the culture of your organization to be before you dive into the nuts and bolts.
  • The leadership principles and ethics portion of the board.
  • The difference in charismatic leadership and transformational leadership.

"One of the things that I think we don't do very well in a standardized way, so to speak, is how we develop our state leaders in preparation for service to the board, because that's a very unique job."
