The AK-STTI board meets every month. In October, we have a Fall Program with a guest speaker and a short business meeting.
This year there are several initiatives:
We are focusing upon membership renewal. The chair of the Membership Committee is engaged in contacting past members to encourage renewal.
We are focusing on the Bylaws since it is a Biennium year. This means that the delegates at the convention will keep us informed about Bylaw changes from the national office.
We are preparing a better email service with greater opportunity for email information to the membership.
We are preparing for the Chartering Amendment Ceremony to honor and welcome Metro State University School of Nursing.
If you are looking for an opportunity to volunteer, we are in need of an Archivist. This position is an important one that allows us to maintain a record of our history. Please contact Teresa Sakraida or any board member to indicate your interest.
With Regards,
Teresa Sakraida, President
