Nursing Leadership at the March of Dimes

The March of Dimes Nurse Advisory Council is a group of national nursing leaders who give direction and counsel to the March of Dimes nursing education programs. They are among the thousands of volunteers who work with the March of Dimes every year.

The council provides guidance on nursing modules, nursing grand rounds and graduate nursing scholarships. Members meet annually to review existing programs, suggest new directions and establish nursing networking opportunities. Nurse Advisory Council members often appear as speakers for chapter conferences and nursing grand rounds.
