2012-2013 Board of Directors
CMSA’s 2012-2013 Board of Directors
CMSA’s new President is Nancy Skinner, RN-BC, CCM, from Whitwell, Tennessee, who succeeds Mary Beth Newman, MSN, RN-BC, CCP, CCM. A true case management pioneer, Nancy was involved in the early formation of the Illinois Case Management Network (now CMSA Chicago). She has worked tirelessly to promote case management over the past 20 years, and has presented educational programs to countless CMSA chapters and other groups across the country. Her leadership has continued on the national level, having served in the CMSA President role previously from 1998-1999. Nancy is the first CMSA President to serve a second term, and also the first to serve a consecutive 2-year term in the same role from 2012-2014.
Skinner began her career as a nurse working in acute care, long-term care and home health. A major milestone in her career, she developed the CM Resource Path Concept in the late 90s, a model for disease state education designed specifically for case managers. She is currently the Principal Consultant and Owner of Riverside HealthCare Consulting in Whitwell, TN.
