NOMINATING AND ELECTIONS COMMITTEE
Samantha Kendall , NEC Chair and Southern Election Area Representative
2024-2025 Nominating and Elections Committee n NECEast @ nsnainc . org
Greetings , fellow student nurses and aspiring leaders !
I am so excited to serve on the Nominating and Elections Committee this year and get to help all of you with your leadership goals ! I have always loved the quote : “ If your actions inspire others to dream more , learn more , do more , and become more , you are a leader !” One of the main nursing duties is to help inspire and educate your patients to learn more about their care- which I am sure is done daily by many of you ! This is one example of how you serve as a leader daily in the nursing profession and I am sure you have other qualities that you can use to serve as a NSNA leader . Join us at the MidYear Conference in Louisville , Kentucky as we explore the various NSNA leadership positions and how they contribute to shaping the future of nursing .
To run for national office , we have two different options you can take for your path to being a leader : pre-slating and running from the floor . These are explained in detail on the NSNA NEC webpage . Although it is your decision which option you choose , 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 .
The future of nursing is in our hands and lives with the decisions that we all make daily to support the profession . We have the power in our hands to continue to add to the greatness that the nurses before us have left and help strive for greatness daily as leaders . I would love 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 the Election Area Representative for your area . We love getting to know you all more and can ’ t wait to help you on your future leadership journey with NSNA ! We hope that we see all of you at the MidYear Conference in Louisville and am so excited you are part of our organization .
