The American Nurses Association Board of Directors Committee on Appointments suggests that state nurses associations and structural units forward an applicant kit to individuals identified for appointment consideration. The Committee on Appointments meets three times a year at the March, June, and December ANA Board of Directors' meetings and forwards its recommendations immediately to the board. Following the Board of Directors' appointment decisions, nominees are notified in writing regarding the status of their nomination.
Every effort is made to notify nominees within two weeks of the meeting.
Funds may be advanced upon request on forms provided by the association. Reimbursement is made upon submission of vouchers with supporting data. 2. provides travel insurance coverage for those traveling on ANA business.
