Upcoming State Elections for UAPRN

Posted almost 11 years ago by Jill Nielsen

Hello all UAPRN members,

We have an upcoming state election, and we are searching for a new state Vice President, Treasurer, and Member-at-large. The election will be held in October, and our new officers will take office on January 1st, 2015, and serve for 2 years. Per our current bylaws, the frequency of meetings for the state leadership shall be held quarterly, either in person or via conference calls. I have posted the general responsibilities for these positions at the bottom of this request.

Please consider running for office, as we cannot have an effective UAPRN without our leadership team. UAPRN is a vital force in the state of Georgia for protecting your professional rights and continuing to advance your nursing practice. We have a seasoned and energetic President, who is willing to mentor the new officers, and we all know being an officer of a state nursing group would look wonderful on your resume! We welcome all interested nominees...no experience necessary!!

The expected duties are as follows:

Vice-President:
  1. The Vice-President shall generally assist the President and shall have such other powers and perform such other duties as may be prescribed by the Board of Directors.

  2. In the event of the death, resignation, absence, or inability of the President to act, the Vice President shall assume and discharge the powers and duties of the President.

  3. The Vice President shall serve as the Association's Compliance Officer.
Treasurer:
  1. The Treasurer shall keep full and accurate financial records of all its business transactions and other such books of accounts as the Board of Directors may require, and shall exhibit the same to any Directors upon request.

  2. The Treasurer will quarterly disburse membership funds for each new member ($35.00 for regular member, none for student or retired) to each chapter in UAPRN.

  3. No funds shall be withdrawn from the account of the organization without the dual signature of the President and Treasurer for checks greater than $200.00.
Director At Large:
  1. The Director-at-Large shall assume such duties as are specified in these bylaws and other duties as may be assigned by the Board of Directors.

  2. The Director-at-Large shall serve as the school liaison, media and academia contact person.

Please contact Pat Murray or Dr. Toni Barnett from our North Georgia Mountian Chapter if you are interested.
