Abstract

Data from a 2017 survey of the Association for Nursing Professional Development members informed the development of resources to support the role of the professional development associate. Competency-based educational programming, a position description and evaluation templates, and other professional development resources were developed in response to this need. A follow-up survey in 2019 validated the need for continued support of this vital role in professional development departments.
