Welcome to new Board Members
The NACC is pleased to welcome to the NACC Board of Directors our two newly elected members, who will begin their service on January 1, 2025.
Allison DeLaney was Board certified through the NACC in 2006 and has enjoyed serving the NACC as a BCC mentor, certification interviewer, workshop and webinar presenter, Research Advisory Council member, representative to the Joint Research Council, and plenary chair for the national conference. During her career as a chaplain, Allison has worked in a variety of settings, including as a hospice chaplain and bereavement coordinator, a women’s health and pediatrics chaplain in the acute hospital setting, and now as a population telehealth chaplain. Allison hopes to support the growth of the NACC so that Chaplaincy can be a viable and sustainable career path for many more years to come.
Fr. John Ekeocha has served as a Roman Catholic priest for more than 30 years, as a priest chaplain for the past 14 years, and has been a Board Certified Chaplain with the NACC since 2012. He has a great passion for priestly ministry and is committed to scholarly research for ministerial service and professional growth and development. He is ready and available to continue to serve the NACC and to contribute to the growth and enhancement of its vision, mission, and strategic goals.
