Our Governance:
The Foundation is incorporated as a 501 (c) (6) not-for-profit organization in the state of Pennsylvania, USA. On a day-to-day basis, we operate according to our bylaws, which provide a blueprint for the President and the Directors of the organization's operation. Unlike NANDA International, we’re not a membership organization, so our President and Directors aren’t elected but are appointed by the Board. We meet remotely at least six times a year. Our Board is international and is entirely volunteer-led and managed. We have no paid staff.
Our Board:
Dr. Shigemi Kamitsuru, PhD, RN, FNI, President (since 2022) (Japan)
Dr. Kay Avant, PhD, RN, FNI, FAAN, Director (since 2014) (USA)
