The OADN Board of Directors and Nominating Committee invite all eligible members to participate in the 2026 OADN Elections. The leaders elected this year will help guide OADN’s priorities, strengthen our national voice, and advance our work on behalf of associate degree nursing education, educators, students, and the nursing workforce.
As the new academic year gets underway, we encourage you to take a few minutes to review the candidates, read their statements, and cast your vote. Your participation helps ensure that OADN’s leadership reflects the perspectives, experiences, and priorities of our members across the country.
All individual OADN members and registered faculty of active OADN member programs are eligible to vote in the 2026 elections.
