Nominations Committee

Supporting Leadership and Professional Governance

The Nominations Committee plays a key role in supporting INKA’s (formerly NANDA ® International) governance and leadership continuity by overseeing the nominations and election process for elected positions within the Association. The chair of this committee is elected by the members, along with at least 50% of the committee members; the chair may also appoint up to 50% of the members. This committee operates completely independently of the INKA Board of Directors.

Through a structured and transparent process, the committee helps ensure that INKA’s Board of Directors and standing committee leadership reflect the expertise, professionalism, and global perspective required to advance nursing knowledge development internationally.

Committee Responsibilities

The Nominations Committee is responsible for soliciting and reviewing nominations from the membership for:

The committee’s duties include:

Soliciting nominations from eligible members

The Nominations Committee works closely with the Association’s Program Assistant to conduct voting in an accurate and timely manner.
