What is the Role of the Membership Committee?

The Membership Committee is responsible for increasing membership, retaining members, and developing new member benefits.

Sarah McCloskey, Director and Chair,
​Membership Committee, Fall Memo

Hello everyone and happy fall (or ghostly season, as I like to call it)! I hope everyone had a smooth transition back to school, clinicals (or into clinicals for the first time!), and into the exciting world of student nurses. Another school year and another fall semester mean new classes, knowledge, and opportunities. I’d like to welcome our new members and students who are just starting out. Although nursing school can be pretty busy or overwhelming, make sure to carve out some time for self-care and making new friends! It’s important to have a strong support system while going through classes and clinicals, so start forming connections now with those who are in the same boat. Help each other out! I know that everyone is working hard, whether that’s as a student, a member, or leader; I cannot wait to see all the success that this year brings, whether at the school or state level.
 
Now we’ve started settling into the rhythm of this school year, I look forward to connecting with you and all NSNA members. Make sure to head over to the NSNA Board of Directors Facebook page to check-in, find the latest news and updates from the board, and get connected with students from across the country. Make sure to share your experiences, your challenges, and most importantly your successes and triumphs with all of us at NSNA. Sharing stories and personal experiences is a great way to encourage students to get involved and connect on a deeper level with a community of future nurses just like you!

MEMBERSHIP AND RECRUITING
