ENA Election

About the ENA Election

One of the core privileges of ENA membership is the right to choose who sits on the ENA Board of Directors and Leadership Development and Elections Committee.

Each year, ENA hosts its election for both the board ENA Board of Directors and the ENA Leadership Development and Elections Committee.

Applications for candidates open each spring, accepted candidates are then introduced to the ENA membership during the summer and voting takes place in the early fall. To be eligible to vote, you must be an ENA member in good standing.

The Call for Candidates is Now Closed.

All candidates are vetted and scored based on a scoring rubric comprised of application materials, competencies and a formal interview process. Candidates are listed on the ballot in ranked order.
