The initiative signifies a new journey for CGFNS, an acronym for Commission on
Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools, which for nearly a half-century has
supported the career mobility of nurses and other healthcare workers by
validating their education, skills, and experience as they seek authorization
to practice in the United States and other countries. It comes in response to
calls to invigorate capacity building of the healthcare workforce so it can
meet the needs of people in a rapidly evolving global health landscape.

TruMerit, a reference to "genuine excellence," points to the organization's
role in validating the meritorious achievements of global healthcare workers.
It will continue to be a worldwide leader in providing these services while
broadening its mission to strengthen research and advocacy in support of
healthcare workforce development solutions, including global standards and
frameworks for specialty certifications that will empower career pathways for
healthcare workers, regardless of where they choose to work.

"With this rebranding, we are stepping into a new era of global impact with
faith in the proposition that healthcare workers in every country-empowered
with the knowledge, tools, and inspiration to achieve excellence in their
profession-can lead the way to resolving the healthcare challenges of today
and tomorrow," said Dr. Peter Preziosi, the organization's President and CEO.

"TruMerit will advocate for and generate intellectual capital to drive
investment in a future-ready global healthcare workforce. We know that a
commitment to the development and validation of their skills is the best
contribution we can make to addressing shortages, health equity and access
challenges, and the demand for patient-centric care model evolution," he
added.

The name change will be the centerpiece of a comprehensive rebranding of the
organization, which will include a new visual identity across its public
profile, including its website, customer portals, credentials and
certificates, and social media channels. The rebranding effort will begin
rolling out in mid-March and will be completed by the summer.

"Our new name carries both a meaning and a message about who we are and what
is important to the global healthcare workforce we serve," said Lea Sims,
Chief Marketing and Communications Officer, who led the year-long renaming
initiative and is overseeing the organization's transition to its evolving
identity and new brand. "The name TruMerit reflects our longstanding mission
of helping healthcare workers around the world advance their careers while
preserving the earned credibility associated with CGFNS and its nearly
half-century of service to nursing and the allied health professions."
