Membership Survey & Upcoming Office Nominations

Posted over 5 years ago

ANPA annual Board of Directors Nominations and Elections is right around the corner.  As we prepare to open nominations, we are asking our members to complete a short survey to let us know if we are meeting your needs and how we can improve.  Please take the time to complete the survey that is sent through our Survey Monkey (be sure to check the email used for your ANPA membership).  

Also, review the open position statements below for consideration of running or nominating a Nurse Practitioner for one of the positions.  Our members are important for our continued growth and expansion.  We need members who are willing to lead. 

We look forward to reviewing your survey answers and the upcoming nominations and elections!
