Dear District Nurses Association Two (DNA 2) Members:
Exciting news! The annual MNA and District Election Process has started. We are writing to you to make you aware of the leadership opportunities for 2025 and 2026, except for the President-Elect which is a 4-year commitment.
We are hoping that you will give serious consideration to being a candidate for one of these positions to be elected in 2024. Last year MNA came close to having at least one candidate for each elected position on the District Ballots. District 2 was successful in achieving that goal for the last few years, and we hope to continue that trend with your help.
We have eight (8) District leadership opportunities in the 2024 election.
The goal for the 2024 MNA District Elections is to have a complete election ballot for each of the eight Districts.
