What is the Role of the Finance Committee?

The finance committee's responsibility is to review and make recommendations to the Board on operating and capital budgets, review investment guidelines for Reserve Fund, and propose new products and services for the association (see NSNA Bylaws for more details).

Hello everyone and welcome back to the school year! 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 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.
