Nominating & Elections


​The Nominating and Elections Committee (NEC) is also composed solely of student nurses, and is elected by the House to select a slate of candidates for elections the following year. The NEC is a separate body from the Board of Directors and reports directly to the House of Delegates. 
Election Areas
The country is divided into four election areas. These areas are not intended to be a formal structure, but rather allow for increased communication within NSNA. 

Four directors and the Nominating and Elections Committee members are elected from these areas to ensure representation of students in all areas of the country.
The chart below describes election areas. Once elected, directors represent the entire country and not their election area. ​
