This page provides contact information for Nursing Continuing Education Council (NCEC) members.
Please note: If you would like to offer an accredited Continuing Nursing Education (CNE) program, a NCEC Nurse Planner must be actively involved in the planning, implementation and evaluation of the continuing education activity.
