Ways to Get Involved
INA Leadership Opportunities

Your Participation is the Key to Higher Standards of Nursing Practice

Members of INA have the power to influence nursing practice in Iowa by their involvement in a number of avenues within the Association. These areas include:

ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN YOUR REGION ACTIVITIES. Your regional meetings promote opportunities for networking with other area nursing professionals from a variety of disciplines as well as provide up to date information on issues affecting nursing practice.

ATTEND INA/INF'S ANNUAL CONVENTION. Many decisions are made at the annual convention and leadership is elected. This is a great time to learn more about the working of your organization and meet other members from across the state as well as pick up a few CEUs.
This year's convention will be held October 4th-6th at the PLEX Center, Des Moines. Watch this site for details.

BECOME POLITICALLY ACTIVE. Weekly legislative updates via email on issues in the legislature that directly affect your practice with practical tips on how to contact your legislature. Contact your legislators and let them know how their decisions impact nursing care in Iowa. Join INA lobbyists at the Capitol to express your views and share your stories on specific issues. Get involved with the INA Political Action Committee. Follow candidates for political office and discover their views on issues that affect nursing in Iowa.

ATTEND INA'S ANNUAL LEGISLATIVE EDUCATION DAY IN DES MOINES. Learn how to approach your legislator at the capitol, share your views with your legislator over lunch and discover issues currently being discussed. Usually in February.

SERVE ON ONE OF INA'S MANY COMMITTEES. This is a great way to influence the direction of the organization and nursing practice in Iowa.

COMMUNICATE YOU VIEWS AND THOUGHTS TO NURSES WHO ARE OFFICERS OR COMMITTEE MEMBERS. INA can only speak for Iowa nurses if Iowa nurses speak up.

RUN FOR ELECTED OFFICE. Member participation in leadership positions is essential to the success of INA.
