Attention All Members!

In preparation for our upcoming state officer elections, I need you all to know of the following offices that will be open for the election. I have decided to run for re-election as your state president and Dr. Michelle Nelson has decided to run for state secretary.

However, this does not preclude anyone from one for those positions as well. Hence, the following state officers positions that anyone in good standing as a full member with at least one year membership into our organization may run. The positions are as follows:

• State President
• State Vice President
• State Secretary
• State Treasurer
• State Director-at-Large 

Cindy Rinehart is chair of the nomination committee and she is seeking three to four individuals to be on this important committee. This committee's responsibility will include recruiting candidates for these positions and will only require three to four weeks of service to the committee.

Once the deadline has been reached for recruiting candidates, ENP will develop the ballot and members will have a defined amount of time to cast their vote for their candidate of choice.

If you are interested in serving on this leadership committee, please contact Cindy Rinehart at  404-414-9822 or at crinehart@chamberlain.edu no later than  August 11, 2014.

Descriptions of each state officer's position and its responsibilities may be located on the state website of UAPRN Georgia.

This is a wonderful opportunity for any member who has always wanted to participate in a leadership position, but never done so for various reasons. It's a short commitment of time and will allow you to get your "feet wet" in one of leadership roles that is serving the entire organization !
