A number of committees carry out the work of the Academy.

Leadership/Policy Committee:

This committee splits its focus between leadership development (including succession planning, mentorship, and leadership education) and drafting position/policy statements to guide and inform the work of ACEN and its members. Members of ACEN may submit ideas for position statements to be evaluated against the policy-screening tool by the committee. Those accepted by the committee are assigned to a committee-working group to draft the policy/position statement, which is then reviewed by the whole committee. To date, the committee has prepared three position statements.

Finance Committee:

This committee is charged with overseeing and reviewing the ACEN budgets. The committee reviews financial statements and offers advise on keeping ACEN financially stable as well as develop and review financial policies and procedures.

The CJNL Editorial Advisory Board

The Advisory Board committee meets to review the performance of the Canadian Journal of Nursing Leadership and to provide feedback on the format, content and themes of the journal. The journal is peer reviewed and covers politics, policy, theory and innovations that contribute to leadership in nursing administration, practice, teaching and research. Through the Canadian Journal of Nursing Leadership, ACEN enables and facilitates an academic level of discussion, information sharing and debate on issues that are of value and concern to its members.
