Get Involved
The work of the NAA is completely driven by volunteers, and we always can use more help. Most meetings are held via Zoom, so you can participate from wherever you are, except where noted below. Volunteers are needed on these committees:
Membership
The committee develops and implements member recruitment and engagement; oversees/advises on dues collection process; oversees maintenance of member database; recruits and supports Class Agents; coordinates with Finance Committee on member fundraising. Meets every other month for a 1-hour Zoom meeting.
History
The committee oversees the preservation of MGH SON nursing history, digitization of archives and oral history project; supports creation of articles/publications on history of nursing; collaborates with the MGH Nursing History Committee; undertakes special history-related initiatives. Meets bi-monthly as full committee with interim meetings as needed depending on project work being done.
Publications and Communications
The committee writes, edits, produces The Record and Beyond the Cap. No regular meetings are held. Help is needed from volunteers with strong writing/editing skills to do any of the following: brainstorm content; write articles of interest or coordinate with others to write; compile and edit Class News (sent by the Class Agents), obituaries, and pictures; track and compile news of MGH Nursing Department and IHP SON pertinent to our membership; and assist with proofreading/ editing the publications.
Community Engagement
The committee develops and implements programs to support professional development (lecture series), nursing research (annual NAA nursing research grant), and community engagement mission (support of nurse led health care delivery). Meets quarterly as a full committee with interim meetings monthly for lecture series planning group.
