G reetings , fellow student nurses and aspiring leaders ! Imagine a world beneath the waves , a place where every creature plays a vital role in the harmony of the ocean . This world is more than simply a figment of your imagination , it is a testament to the power of unity , togetherness , and shared purpose . Get ready to dive deep into a world of possibilities as we set sail for the NSNA Midyear Conference in November ! The Nominating and Elections Committee ( NEC ) is thrilled to introduce our theme for this year : “ Dive into Nursing Leadership !”
As the NEC , our goal is clear , — to create waves of inspiration that will drive your decision to run for national office . Victory in an NSNA election isn ’ t just a win for you ; it ’ s a win for every student nurse you ’ ll inspire . Join us at MidYear Conference as we explore the various NSNA leadership positions and how they contribute to shaping the future of nursing .
There are two ways to run for a national position : pre-slating and running from the floor . These are explained in detail on the NSNA NEC webpage . Although the ultimate choice is yours , we encourage you to explore the benefits of pre-slating . On the NEC webpage , you can also find resources detailing each elected position and everything you need to know about the campaigning process . If you are curious , or interested in running for a national position , request information for national office .
Just like the ocean ’ s depths , nursing is a vast and dynamic field , and every drop of water contributes to the vastness of the ocean . We , as nursing students , have the power to navigate the currents of leadership and leave our mark on the future of our profession . The NEC is here to encourage and assist you in your efforts to serve the organization as a national officer .
If you have any questions about running for office , don ’ t hesitate to reach out to your NEC Election Area Representative . We are always happy to help .
