How will you help NANN make a difference for neonatal nurses, patients, and their families? As a NANN member, you can support the neonatal nurse community while networking and connecting with colleagues. Here’s how you can get involved:
Serve as a Leader of the Association
The NANN Board of Directors and NANN-AP Council play an integral role in the NANN community, advancing the association’s strategic initiatives. Members who are passionate about leadership and making a difference are invited to apply for open positions on the NANN Board of Directors or NANN-AP Council during our annual call for nominations. Serving in a leadership role enables you to influence the direction of NANN and contribute to the growth and development of neonatal nursing.
