Allison Adams Wieczorek has served on the Nurses Educational Funds (NEF) Board since 2006, and she is deeply committed to advancing graduate nursing education, with a particular focus on maternal-infant and pediatric care. Although not a nurse by profession, her dedication to this field has been shaped by personal experiences with maternal and pediatric care, as well as by her work with NEF scholars whose education and research address critical needs in healthcare. She has played an active leadership role within NEF, serving as Co-Chair of the Communications Committee and formerly as Chair of the Website and Social Media Committee, helping to expand the organization’s outreach and impact.

With more than 25 years of experience in finance, marketing, and content strategy, Allison currently serves as Publisher of the Financial Analysts Journal and Head of Content Asset Strategy at CFA Institute. She brings this expertise to NEF to help strengthen its mission and broaden awareness of the importance of supporting advanced nursing education.

Building on the successful fundraising of her mother-in-law, Dr. Rita Reis Wieczorek’s Maternal-Infant and Pediatric Nursing Scholarship, Allison and Rita established the Allison Adams Wieczorek Scholarship for Maternal–Infant and Pediatric Nursing. The Allison Adams Wieczorek Scholarship reached its $50,000 endowment goal in 2023 and supports graduate nurses pursuing advanced study in maternal-infant and pediatric nursing, continuing a shared commitment to nursing service, education, and leadership.
