Delegates and AURN Elections
If you are interested in serving as a Dist 52 delegate to the ONA Convention or if you would like to be a candidate for one of the open AURN Executive Committee positions you will need to submit an AURN Consent to Serve form by February 15.
The ONA Convention will be held April 16 & 17, 2010 at Lane Community College in Eugene, OR. More information about the event is located here. Please see the Dist 52 bylaws and ONA bylaws for information regarding the duties of a delegate. The AURN will reimburse you and provide a stipend to help cover travel, hotel and meals if you attend the full day ONA House of Delegates on April 17.
There are four positions up for election this year: President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Member at Large. The work is primarily volunteer work but time spent meeting with management will be paid. Please see the Dist 52 bylaws for descriptions of these positions.
