Hello Members,
 
My name is Anna Scaria, and I am honored to be serving as your Director and Chair of the Ethics and Governance Committee. This past June, I attended the NSNA board orientation in New York City, where I met with my fellow board members and thoroughly thought out a roadmap of tasks aligned with our strategic plan for the upcoming term.
 
Since my election, I have been committed to supporting the success of our organization. As Chair of the Ethics and Governance Committee, I work to ensure that NSNA’s bylaws and code of ethics are upheld. In this role, I assist state chapter leadership by addressing questions related to the code of ethics and bylaws, and by providing guidance and support whenever needed.
