Abstract
Nurse leaders and professional nursing organizations are committed to influencing policy. Understanding how these commitments are actualized can accelerate success, and strategies can be replicated. The Organization of Nurse Leaders – New England (ONL)1, has strategic commitments and a strong track record of influencing state-level policy. Member input informs the organization's policy priorities, and engagement in Government Affairs Committee meetings supports learning. Policy and advocacy successes recognized through member communications and an annual award. This article provides detail about ONL's approach to policy and advocacy work, its processes for supporting nurse leader influence, and exemplars highlighting policy success in New England.
