Based on the Iowa Nurses Association (INA) Bylaws, the Nominations Committee issues a Call for Committees each year to encourage members to continue their engagement or to become involved with the Association through serving on a committee. After the Nominations Committee receives and reviews the Committee Consent to Serve forms, they committee makes an official recommendation to the INA Board of Directors who approve and appoint members to fill any vacancies.
