Board Positions & Leadership

2027-28 Ballot

Would you be willing to serve? Is there a fellow member you’d like to nominate for this position?

Serving on the board is a great way to strengthen your leadership skills while supporting your fellow nurses and promoting the profession of nursing.

It is the expectation of board members that they attend the majority of board meetings, serve on a committee, and actively participate in R.O.N.A. events. Board meetings are held monthly – except July & August. Board meetings are held on the first Wednesday of the month 5:15-6:15pm. Most meetings are held via Zoom.

Nominations for the 2027-28 Board of Directors must be submitted by February 1, 2027 to be included on the ballot. There will also be space on the ballot for write-in candidates.

Any open positions during the year are filled by a vote of the board.
