CNMA Wants YOU!

Come serve on the board of CNMA!

Greetings from your CNMA President!

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer!

Please consider serving on the CNMA Board. We have open positions that need to be filled and we are down to the wire!! The ballots need to go out mid August so the new officers can be announced and begin their term at our Annual meeting on October 5th. One of our goals is to have a more inclusive and diverse Board, so everyone please think of likely candidates and encourage them to run. 

The open positions are Secretary, President Elect, and Regional Reps (North, South, Central), Social Media Team Chair; and a Student Rep from the Fullerton program. Terms are 2 years with the exception of President Elect (this is one year and then President for 2 years). President Elect will overlap with me for a year and then I will remain as a guide.  

Speaking from experience, it is incredibly rewarding and you will be involved at at time when we are making great strides to move our profession forward in many ways.

Please contact me if you are considering running or want to nominate someone.  I am happy to talk you through it and give you more information.

Also, mark our calendars for our Annual meeting on October 5th!!   Registration will open soon.  We have some excellent speakers lined up and a beautiful venue.  We look forward to seeing many of you! 

Gratefully,

Kathleen Belzer, CNM
