Happy summer everyone!
 
The Membership Committee is off to a great start for the 2021-2022 session! Through several online meetings in May and June, with the entire board and individual Zoom meetings we have really established where we would like to go and what we would like to accomplish in order to make a NSNA membership as valuable as possible for each and every member! Speaking of the Committee, I am proud to introduce the individuals who will be helping me make our visions a reality! Aside from myself, Sabrina Roney and Megan Johnston form the rest of the Membership Committee and have already brought a lot of wonderful ideas to the table for this year!
 
As for this year’s theme, I wanted to focus on reaching out to our new and returning members to make sure everyone is aware of what an NSNA membership entails, as well as the benefits and opportunities available to members, but are just waiting to be accessed. With these points in mind, the Committee decided the theme for this year would be “Connecting the Dots: Making the Most of NSNA”. Additionally, we have come up with three goals we would like to accomplish before the convention in spring. One of which is to reconnect with current members and to form strong relationships, as well as open, two-way lines of communication between members at the national, state, and local levels. We are students too here at NSNA! We share the same long nights of studying and clinical stress, as well as many other trials, tribulations, and triumphs that come with being a nursing student. So PLEASE do not hesitate to reach out to any member of the board with questions, concerns, or even ideas/ suggestions. We would be happy to answer or hear about anything you feel you would like to share!
