The current DNA Board consists of eight (8) members: President, President-Elect, Immediate Past President, Treasurer, Secretary, and three (3) Directors.
Each year, two (2) DNA members are elected to serve on the nominating committee.
The Board of Directors previously approved that Past Presidents of the Dermatology Nurses’ Association (DNA) are eligible to seek nomination and election by the general membership to the Board of Directors for any office (Secretary, Treasurer, Director) except for President-elect or President once they have been off of the Board for at least two (2) years following their serving in the Immediate Past President position. The only exception would be that they are not allowed to run for office if there is already a Past President serving on the Board in this capacity.
We encourage you to review the descriptions and criteria below and consider entering your name — or the name of someone you believe will be an excellent addition to DNA’s leadership.
