WSNA local unit officers are elected by the union nurse members every three years. WSNA Officers work in collaboration with the Nurse Representative to advocate for bargaining unit nurses. WSNA provides training for each of these roles. You may nominate yourself or someone you feel would fill the role well. After nominations close, we will confirm willingness to serve, and mail ballot elections will be held.
