The Michigan Council of Nursing Education Administrators
(MCNEA) represents the academic nurse leaders of associate
degree and practical nursing programs in Michigan. MCNEA meets
four times a year in various locations around the state. The goals of
MCNEA are to

Impact the direction of nursing education in Michigan.
Monitor the direction of legislative issues regarding health
care and nursing.
Contribute to the professional development of the
membership.
Maintain a communication network for MCNEA members.

MCNEA supports the Michigan Agenda for Nursing - Actions to Avert a Crisis, and has sought to address specific concerns related to
nursing education at meetings that occur twice per year with
colleagues from the Michigan Association of Colleges of Nursing
(MACN) and the Michigan Organization of Nurse Executives
(MONE). In addition, MCNEA has membership at the Coalition of
Michigan Organizations of Nursing (COMON).

Membership in the MCNEA shall be open to all community colleges
or other nursing program administrators in Michigan upon payment
of dues. The "administrator," regardless of title, is the Registered
Nurse recognized by the Michigan Board of Nursing as the head of
the program. Dues are established annually.  Please contact the
MCNEA treasurer for membership information and dues payments.
