Virginia Nurses’ Association Names Dr. Sherri Wilson President-Elect

Esteemed nurse, educator, and public health expert, Dr. Wilson will succeed to President seat in Sept. 2022

Dr. Sherri Wilson, Director of Health Career Programs at Stride, Inc., was recently elected President-elect of the Virginia Nurses Association (VNA), an affiliate of the American Nurses Association. During her one-year term as President-elect, Dr. Wilson will work closely with Linda Shepherd, current VNA President, to ensure a smooth transition of presidential duties. Dr. Wilson will succeed to the office of the President in September 2022.

“Dr. Wilson brings a unique cross-sector approach to the VNA leadership team that combines more than two decades of nursing expertise across multiple roles and settings,” said Linda Shepherd, current VNA President. “Her background and combined experiences distinctly position her to lead us, through an equity lens, in meeting our mission as the leading professional organization for Virginia’s registered nurses.”

As Director of Health Career Programs at Stride (NYSE: LRN) – the nation’s leading provider of tech-enabled education programs in primary, secondary, and post-secondary settings – Dr. Wilson oversees the development and implementation of curriculum and partnerships in the healthcare fields across the company’s expanding career learning programs.

Prior to joining Stride, Dr. Wilson served as a Public Health Administrator with the Fairfax County Government, with an expertise in maternal-child health issues. She earned her Doctorate of Nursing Practice from Johns Hopkins University, a Master of Arts degree in public administration from Seton Hall University, and a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing from Hampton University.

VNA represents the interests of almost 115,000 registered nurses in the Commonwealth of Virginia, inclusive of all areas of specialization, clinical settings, and work environments. VNA’s mission is to promote education, advocacy, and mentoring for registered nurses to advance professional practice and influence the delivery of quality care.
