Kelsey Mumford, Director and Chair,
​Ethics and Governance Committee Summer Memo

Hello all!

I am excited to serve NSNA this year as a Director. I am the Chair of the Ethics and Governance Committee this year alongside committee members Scotty Brooks and Taylor Tilton. In addition, I serve as a member of the Health Policy and Advocacy Committee and the Population and Global Health Committee. In June, the NSNA Board committees met in New York City to discuss plans and goals for the year. These goals and the overarching theme that encompasses them are described in further detail below. 
 
Rethink. Equate. Partner.
The theme for the Ethics and Governance Committee this year is “Rethink. Equate. Partner.” In analyzing NSNA’s bylaws and policies, our committee felt that these three areas had the potential for further improvement, and we hope to think of innovative solutions to them throughout the year.
