ABOUT

Board of Directors 2026-2027

As we begin a new chapter for Texas Nurse Practitioners, I’m honored to serve as your President.

Our profession stands at a pivotal moment—one that calls for unity, confidence, and the collective strength of our NP voice. Advocacy is not a spectator sport. Challenges remain with Full Practice Authority, Schedule II Prescriptive Rights, and education funding—but together, we are stronger. With over 47,000 NPs across Texas, imagine the impact if every NP joined our movement. Membership is our power. Let’s grow, lead, and elevate our influence.

“When resistance grows, it’s a sign we’re gaining ground.” — Dr. Tracy Hicks, DNP, MBA
