Congratulations to Felicia Mazwi (SAFRI 2009), who was recently appointed Chair of the East London Regional Chapter of the Nursing Education Association (NEA) in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. The NEA has tasked the East London Regional Chapter with developing a leadership program for nurse educators. Under Ms. Mazwi’s leadership, four workshops are planned for nurse educators in 2010, including a nurses’ writers forum (held in April), and workshops on professional ethics (May), student support (August), and research (November).

The NEA has a chapter in each of South Africa’s nine provinces and plans to implement the leadership program for nurse educators countrywide once it has been developed fully. Co-Director of the Southern Africa-FAIMER Regional Institute (SAFRI) Vanessa Burch and other members of the SAFRI team will assist the NEA with the implementation of the leadership program through its nine chapters.
