Call for 2026 Committee Members
Calling all members! Your involvement matters.
Be a part of something meaningful and purposeful by serving on one of our committees. The Call for Committees is open through October 31st.
This year, in accordance with the INA Bylaws, there are 15 openings between the four committees. To learn more about committee roles and responsibilities, length of terms, and the attendance policy, please click on the buttons below.
The Nominations Committee will review all consent to serves at the end of November to make a committee recommendations to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors will make their final committee appointments at their December board meeting.
Please note that incomplete submission will NOT be reviewed by the committee and therefore will not be considered for appointment by the Board of Directors.
It is the goal of INA staff to inform all new committee members of their appointments in December. Committee terms begin in January, so all new committee members will join meetings after January 1.
If you have any questions, please contact INA at members@iowanurses.org.

INA 2025 Standing Committees - Engagement & Stand Attendance Policy
The Board of Directors takes committee engagement very seriously and values the input of every member serving on a committee. To that end, attendance is monitored regularly to ensure that all committee appointees are making their best effort to attend all committee meetings. Please be aware that three consecutive unexcused absences from committee meetings shall constitute an automatic resignation, per the INA Bylaws. If a committee member contacts the chair or INA staff regarding an expected absence in advance of any meeting, they are excused and the absence is not counted against their attendance record. Please refer to the INA Bylaws for more details.
