New Mexico Nursing excellence IOM Regional Action Coalition

All feedback related to NMENA’s participation in this organization was positive. National ENA also strongly supports this initiative.

Cathi had volunteered to be the Coalition contact.

She will update as activities progress.

The final updated ENA bylaw document that was revised at the 2010 General assembly will need to be compared to the state document and revisions carried out accordingly.

The March meeting will be primarily dedicated to NMENA bylaw revision.

All participants are requested to review the existing bylaws and provide recommendations.

The need to revise the delegate application prior to distribution for the next GA was discussed. The national requirement is for delegate selection based on a point system, but does not designate the content., other than a stipulation for active membership.

It was recommended to generate input from the membership regarding content for awarding points.

Adriann will distribute the current application to all NMENA members with a request for response by April 1.

A draft application will be brought for discussion to the April NMEENA meeting.

Kevin discussed the possibility of using facebook as a link to obtain more visibility for the organization.
