STTI since its visionary
inception in 1922, has been driven by a
commitment to support learning, knowledge and
professional development of nurses, as well as
to create a global community that actively
improves the health of people

geographical
hi l reach.

STTI s footprint

2
• Health system transformation gives STTI a unique
opportunity to increase its relevance for nurses in
all roles and sectors. As a clinical expert, an
executive leader
leader, and advocate for universal health
care, as well as social and environmental
determinants of health, I will contribute to STTI’s
relevance for each nurse and champion
p
evidencebased policy.
3
• I value a strengthened role for STTI in global
advocacy for nursing knowledge, practice
excellence and quality health care. I will advance this
goal through my governance and operations expertise
developed over 17 years at the helm of RNAO
RNAO, and
through my contribution on many national and

boards.
