The Board of Directors and Nominating Committee ask you to exercise your vote in our national organization. Your voice provides essential input into the future leadership of OADN. It is critical that OADN has your participation as we implement current and future strategies to grow OADN and provide national leadership in nursing education. As we begin another busy semester, please take a few moments to review the candidates and their statements and cast your vote.
All individual members and registered faculty of active member programs are entitled to vote in OADN elections.
