I am willing to serve if selected for nomination and elected by the programs accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).
I hereby agree that if I am elected to a position on the CCNE Board of Commissioners or Nominating Committee, I will avoid all conflicts of interest, whether perceived or actual. I will also conduct myself in a manner that is consistent with the duty of loyalty and trust I owe the Commission.
I agree to disclose to the CCNE Executive Director and to the Board of Commissioners any position of leadership that I hold in any nursing or related organization. I agree to disclose to the CCNE Executive Director and to the Board of Commissioners any specific matters over which I may have a conflict of interest. I agree not to influence any matters where such a conflict exists.
If I am elected to a position on the CCNE Board of Commissioners, I further agree not to serve as a consultant to a baccalaureate, graduate, or residency/fellowship program in nursing within CCNE’s scope of accreditation review during my tenure on the Board. I also understand that, if I am a CCNE on-site evaluator and elected to the Board, I will be made “inactive” as a CCNE evaluator during my tenure on the Board.
If I am elected to a position on the CCNE Board of Commissioners, I understand that I may not concurrently serve on the Board of Directors of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN). Additionally, individuals serving on the CCNE Board or Nominating Committee are not permitted to concurrently serve on the decision-making body of another national nursing accrediting organization (or its parent organization).
I understand that, if elected, CCNE will reimburse me for actual expenses incurred for and directly related to Board of Commissioners or Nominating Committee meetings, in accordance with CCNE policy and travel guidelines.
