FNU Board of Directors

Frontier Nursing University’s Board of Directors is comprised of individuals who are invested in the success and growth of FNU. The Board is integral in leading FNU to carry out the mission we’ve held since 1939 - to educate nurses who are leaders in the primary care of women and families, with an emphasis on underserved and rural populations.

Roles of the Board include:

• Governance of FNU, ensuring long-term viability of the university
• Sharing the stories of FNU graduates and faculty and the role FNU plays in the nationwide network of nurse-midwives and nurse practitioners
• Ensuring FNU students receive a quality education
• Organizing committees across the U.S. to share stories of FNU and grow our list of donors

"The nurse-midwife and nurse-practitioner programs offered by FNU are consistently top rated. It is because of our strong faculty, determined students, dedicated preceptors, outstanding staff, engaged alumni and committed donors that it is all possible. We are honored to serve as the Board of Directors for such an exemplary institution."
