The current membership represents the four corners of the United States (US), with possibilities for expansion globally. Overall, the 11 educator members are subject matter experts in forensic nursing and forensic nursing education. They represent US and foreign born and educated, elder, young, cisgender male and female from diverse ethnicities and religious affiliations, and varied practice backgrounds, with diverse educational degrees from academic institutions.
