LANSING, Mich. – Gov. Rick Snyder today announced the appointment of Tori Sachs of Okemos to the Board of Nursing.
Housed within the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, the 23-member board establishes qualifications for nurse licensure, approves standards for nurse education programs, and takes disciplinary action against licensees when the health, safety, and welfare of the public has been adversely affected.
"I thank Tori for her commitment to serving and I am confident her background will provide the skills needed to positively influence the nursing profession in Michigan," Snyder said.
Sachs is an advocacy professional who most recently served as the external affairs advisor for Gov. Rick Snyder. She also serves as a strategic advisor to the First Lady for her initiative to raise awareness in the fight to end campus sexual assault. Sachs attended Oakland University and she will represent the general public.
Sachs will serve the remainder of a four-year term expiring June 30, 2018. Her appointment is subject to the advice and consent of the Senate.
