Triton College Associate Degree Nursing Chairwoman Joan Libner was appointed by Secretary Brent Adams of the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation as the representative for associate degree nursing education on the Illinois Board of Nursing.

The Illinois Nurse Practice Act governs practical, registered and advanced practice nursing, including all of its specialties.

The 13 members of the Board of Nursing, as specified in the act, represent nursing practice, nursing education, nursing administration and the general public.

Duties of the board include recommending adoption and revision of rules for the administration of the act, recommending approval or denial of nursing education programs, participating in the disciplinary process involving a licensee and making recommendations to the department regarding disciplinary action taken against a licensee.

"I am honored to have been supported by my fellow AD nursing directors across Illinois and encouraged by individuals at Triton to serve Illinois nursing and nursing education in this capacity," said Libner, whose appointment was effective as of July 2.
