Dr. Susan Moyer, associate professor in the Wehrheim School of Nursing at Millersville University, has been selected for the National League for Nursing 2025 LEAD program. It’s a year-long initiative of the NLN Leadership Institute.
Moyer was selected for the program because she “demonstrated exceptional leadership in nursing education, research and clinical practice.” Moyer is a full-time faculty member in the Wehrheim School of Nursing at Millersville University and has taught here since 2019. As well as being a Registered Nurse and Certified Nurse Educator, Moyer is the Chair of the nursing department’s Outcomes and Assessment committee.
Moyer is thankful to be selected for the LEAD program, “It affords me the opportunity to learn about leadership perspectives from different experts and it provides time to reflect on my leadership strengths and challenges,” says Moyer.
LEAD, founded in 2011, is designed for nurses in education and practice who have recently been challenged with rapid transition into leadership positions, those already in positions of leadership who want formal leadership development, and others who identify as emerging leaders or have leadership aspirations.
The 2025 NLN LEAD group consists of 22 nurse educators chosen from colleges, universities, and healthcare institutions. This yearlong program represents a significant investment in professional leadership development with participants spending a calendar year engaged in activities identifying personal and professional goals, learning about what makes an effective leader, and strategizing how to retool skill sets and experiences to achieve individual and institutional benchmarks.
To that end, everyone receives intensive one-on-one executive coaching, in addition to attending virtual group coaching sessions, a retreat, and leadership webinars, where they study leadership theory and development that includes case studies.
LEAD participants attended an orientation session in February in Washington, D.C. The Intensive Leadership Retreat is currently scheduled for June 22-25 at League headquarters, also in Washington, D.C. Additionally, the group will reconvene at the 2025 NLN Education Summit with the theme of The Challenge: Unraveling the Mysteries of AI, on September 17-19 in Orlando, Florida.
“The National League for Nursing LEAD program is one of the most highly respected leadership development initiatives in the field of nursing education,” said NLN President and CEO Dr. Beverly Malone, “This will be another year of outstanding and productive achievement, helping to boost the personal and professional standing of this exclusive cohort chosen for 2025 LEAD.”
