Stacie Kinsey, Secretary-Treasurer and Chair,
​Finance Committee, Fall Memo

Hello everyone and welcome back to the school year! I hope everyone had a relaxing and productive COVID-cation. If you feel like you weren’t as productive as you could have been – that’s ok, too! I’d like to extend a special congratulations to all newly elected or appointed secretaries!
 
The beginning of the school year is such an exciting time. Some of you are new to your nursing programs and some of you may be wrapping up your formal education. With all of the changes this year has brought, I hope you have stayed in touch with your local student nursing associations. They have been hard at work learning and growing with the new times we are in.  Feel free to peruse the resources on the NSNA website, particularly the secretary’s handbook and nsna’s policies for submission of minutes in order to achieve constituency status.
 
A few things to bring to your attention….  ​

Submission of State Minutes
 
In order to obtain constituency status at Annual Convention, your state chapter must provide copies of meeting minutes to NSNA. State meeting minutes must be submitted electronically via email, with electronic signatures of the president and the secretary. We are aware that not every state meets every month; in this case, simply advise NSNA of the months during which your organization did not meet. State minutes must also include minutes from one annual meeting (for instance, your Annual Membership Meeting or House of Delegates Meeting that usually takes place at a state convention).
