TO ALL KANS MEMBERS AND CHAPTER ADVISORS:
Each year the State KANS Board hosts two formal meetings to conduct such business as officer elections, bylaw revisions, and other matters that require the vote of the House of Delegates. In short, the House of Delegates is composed of nursing students from various KANS chapters who are given privilege to vote on any proposed bylaw amendments and proposed resolutions. Every chapter is entitled to one delegate for every five nursing students who are KANS members. Each school chapter must be a member of the National Student Nurses ’ Association (NSNA) in order to be eligible to have students serve as delegates in the house. Delegates must be members of KANS and be able to attend the business meetings.
To be a member of KANS, each nursing student must first be a member of NSNA. Applications for NSNA membership can be obtained from either a KANS chapter advisor or at the official website for NSNA at www.nsna.org
. The application must be completed and sent to NSNA before September 22, 2014.
The total number of delegates allotted per each school will be calculated after September 22, 2014. Additional information regarding the total number of delegates designated to each school will be sent at a date closer to the KANS State Convention.
Remember, delegates have the power to affect polices that direct KANS, the future of nursing education, and the future of nursing practice! Please get involved!
If there are any questions or concerns about membership or delegate information, please feel free to email us at kans.kynurses@gmail.com
***Bylaws can be found on the KANS website at www.kansnews.wordpress.com
