The ALNCCB administers the Legal Nurse Consultant Certified (LNCC®) program. It is a functionally autonomous component of the American Association of Legal Nurse Consultants. ALNCCB is composed of six board members who are legal nurse consultants plus a public representative. ALNCCB members are elected to represent the diverse roles and settings in which legal nurse consultants practice as well as varied demographic characteristics.
