Board Meeting / Committee Information

All meetings of the Board and its committees and councils are held in open session as required by the open meetings law. The meetings are held in the KBN office unless otherwise noted. Board, committee, and council members may attend meetings of the Board of Nursing by video teleconferencing from remote locations. The primary location is 312 Whittington Parkway, Suite 300, Louisville, KY. The KBN President and Executive Director serve as ex-officio members.

KBN wishes to extend an invitation to educational programs to have students attend either Board or committee meetings. Our only request is that you let us know you are coming if you plan to attend in person and the approximate number of students so that we can be prepared to accommodate. Please RSVP to the Executive Assistant at least one week prior to the meeting that students will be attending.

Please note that some committee meetings are conducted via Zoom only, so it is important to contact the Board in advance to confirm the format of the meeting and ensure that you are on the attendee list.

KBN does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, or disability in the provision of services.
