WSNA is a member-driven organization.
The Washington State Nurses Association (WSNA) is a dynamic, democratic organization
through which professional nurses combine and utilize resources to achieve their
goals.
Membership in WSNA allows you to be a part of an active, powerful force for change
in your workplace. WSNA local units and the District Nurses Associations provide
leadership and professional development opportunities at the workplace and in your
local community. And your local unit membership gives you the right to
vote on contracts, be a member of the negotiating team, run for office, and participate
in WSNA Committees and Councils.
All WSNA members in good standing, whether or not you are represented for collective
bargaining by WSNA, have the right to run for and/or be appointed to the WSNA Board
of Directors, WSNA Councils and Committees and as a WSNA delegate to the ANA House
of Delegates. Additionally, all WSNA local unit members have the right to
run for the WSNA Cabinet on Economic and General Welfare (CE&GW), and the CE&GW
Nominations /Search Committee.
