Represent nursing at the executive and board level; collaborate with physicians and interdisciplinary teams
Champion evidence-based practice, clinical innovation, and a culture of shared governance

5+ years of progressive nursing leadership, including 3+ years at a management or director level in acute care
Demonstrated expertise in quality improvement, patient safety, and regulatory compliance
