Joining the board of directors

 

Board of Director elections take place each year during the Canadian Nursing Students’ Association (CNSA) National Conference.

Eligibility

  • Candidates must be members of a CNSA Chapter school in good standing, or Friends of CNSA associates.

  • Candidates must remain enrolled as nursing students at a CNSA Chapter member school for the majority of their term. This includes being registered in coursework or clinical placement for at least six months of their mandate.

  • All candidates must properly complete the nomination process for the position they are seeking.

  • No individual may serve more than two (2) consecutive terms in the same elected position.

  • Official Delegates (ODs) and Associate Delegates (ADs) may run for CNSA voting Board positions only if their OD/AD term concludes before their Board term begins. Delegates cannot simultaneously hold both roles. However, ODs and ADs are eligible to serve as Committee Chairs.
