AONN+ Co-Founder and Program Director Lillie D. Shockney discusses her involvement with US TOO, an advocacy organization for patients with prostate cancer.

AONN+ Co-Founder and Program Director Lillie D. Shockney shares some of her favorite memories of the first decade of the Academy's growth and development. She fondly recalls the costumed skits the leadership performed at one of the conferences, but her most personally resonant moment was when someone credited pursuing her career as an oncology navigator to Lillie's influence.

Chief Nursing Officer & Senior Director of Strategic Planning & Initiatives, AONN+, Danelle Johnston, and Nurse Navigator Sharon Gentry explain why accreditation is so important to AONN+. Accreditation of the certification program shows that AONN+ as an organization has met the recognized standards. For individual navigators, the accreditation may be necessary for their careers. AONN+ is also working on achieving international accreditation so that navigators from countries outside the United States will have an internationally recognized and accredited navigation certification available.
