The ANA Committee on Appointments (COA), a committee of the ANA Board of Directors, has opened its 2019 Call for Nominations for Appointed Positions on the following ANA committees:

  • Committee on Bylaws
  • Committee on Honorary Awards
  • Committee on Honorary Awards Subcommittee
  • Committee on Nursing Practice Standards
  • Minority Fellowship Program (MFP) National Advisory Committee

All ANA members are invited to become more involved by seeking out a volunteer leadership position with one of ANA's committees. Serving as a volunteer leader offers great opportunities to build your professional network with other nursing professionals from across the nation. In addition, volunteer leadership provides a necessary level of support to ANA by participating in the association's governance. Don't miss this exciting opportunity to become involved!

Current members may nominate themselves and/or others to be considered for a committee position. Please refer to the Committee on Appointments page and the Guide to the Appointments Process, online at www.nursingworld.org.

  • Membership in ANA-NY is required.
  • The board of directors will give special consideration to:

o    special knowledge and expertise

o    attention to diversity

o    inclusion of nurses from all settings
