Committee chairs (past and present) are considered by most of the membership as having the requisite experience to run for a Board Member position – it is also a great way to help committee members move into a chair position! Committee members are one of ANAMASS’ most valuable resources.
Committee members come with enormous amounts of vital experiences and background – committee members (past and present) are cordially invited to run for a Board Member position.
At ANAMASS, we believe every nurse is a leader! Further, we believe every nurse is entitled to mentoring, coaching and support in achieving their professional goals. It is because of this belief that we invite all members to consider running for one of these elected positions.

The Nominating Committee invites you to make your mark on our organization. Please review and reflect on the Board Readiness Assessment Reflection when considering your ability to commit to a Director or Officer position. If you aren’t quite ready to commit to running for an elected position, but wish to volunteer for a committee, please contact info@anamass.org. Please Note: No person serving as an officer or director of another organization where such service might result in a conflict of interest shall be included on the slate for an elected position in ANA Massachusetts.
