STATEMENT TO THE MEMBERSHIP
In the past two years our organization has undergone many changes that were necessary for ENA to meet the future needs of our members. Change can be uncomfortable among individuals or groups that are passionate about specific programs and how our organization functions. Member driven organizations like ENA require boards and officers that are responsive to the members while assuring that our organization remains structurally sound. To accomplish this the board must be involved in evidence based decision making This means that it is essential that board members and officers: look at the big picture, seek input, ask the difficult questions, separate issues from people, and negotiate for resolutions to issues.
The responsibilities of the secretary treasurer in addition to those of a director include:: They are a member of the finance committee, to critically review and present financial reports, to the board and members, taking minutes at board meetings, and to serve on the executive committee, the group that makes decisions on time sensitive matters between board conference calls and meetings. In times of rapid change members of these committees need to ask critical questions so that all aspects of an issue are considered before decisions are made, and that the decisions are in the best interests of our members.
Throughout my membership in ENA I have worked to achieve goals that will strengthen our organization in my chapter, state, and now as a member of the Board of Directors. At each level there were times when tough questions had to be asked, and positions needed to be taken that were viewed as controversial. I did not hesitate to ask questions, bring forward ideas, and try to achieve compromise on proposals made at meetings, and to co-author By-law Amendments when I thought that it was an issue important to the members.
If elected to the position of Secretary –Treasurer I will be in a position to continue to advocate for the members while making sure that our organization is strong as we move into the future.
