order early so that you receive them in time for orientation sessions . Keep membership brochures on hand in case you have students who become interested throughout the year or semester .
Get faculty involved ! Ask them to announce when and where you are having local chapter meetings via email or by announcements in class . Faculty members are some of your best resources — use them wisely !
Here are some other tips : Hold a watch party during one of the NSNA membership webinars scheduled throughout the year . Spread awareness about NSNA awards and benefits . Send emails to incoming students welcoming them to the school / program and offering to answer any questions they may have . Record meetings or have a live Zoom link when hosting in-person SNA meetings so that those who are unable to attend in person yet can stay involved .

New Chapter Development
Does your school have an official chapter with NSNA ? Many schools are eligible , but do not submit the official constituency application . The Membership Committee wants that to change because we don ’ t want anyone to miss out on being part of NSNA . If you know of a school that is interested , make sure to check out the Start-A-Chapter Program for more information and request a “ Start-A- Chapter Kit .” The membership committee also wants to hear from you on how we can make starting a chapter easier . We are here to serve our members and to make NSNA what the membership wants it to be . So please connect with us to share your ideas and let us know about changes you would like to see .
