Hello members,

My name is Andrew Kim, and I am honored to be serving as your Director and Chair of the Ethics and Governance Committee. In June, I attended the NSNA Board orientation in New York City, where I met with my fellow board members and developed a roadmap of tasks aligned with our strategic plan for the upcoming term. Since being elected, I have been actively working to support the success of our organization. Since being appointed as Chair of the Ethics and Governance Committee, a role in which I help ensure that NSNA’s Bylaws and Code of Ethics are upheld. I have reached out to state chapter leadership to assist with questions about the NSNA Code of Ethics and Bylaws and to provide support where needed.
