Our membership numbers continue to grow thanks to the efforts of our chapter and state leaders. Due to their diligence, all 100 free one-year membership awards were distributed prior to our annual delegate allotments were announced in June. We will arrive with the largest CalENA Delegation ever in Minneapolis this fall as we support our current 2008 national ENA President, Denise King.
Regarding “unassigned members”: When someone joins ENA for the first time they are assigned to a chapter based on their mailing address and zipcode location. Any member may change their chapter affiliation. Just log on to and under the Members Only section, update your personal profile.
If your sponsoring a new member, tell them what chapter number to write on their application according to their address or personal chapter choice.
To receive timely communications and optimal membership services, we encourage all members tokeep email & mailing addresses currentwith the National office. Only the individualmember may make address, email and chapter preference requests.
Spread the word to educational coordinatorsthat this committee prepares Cal ENA mailing labels for approved buyers for educational event announcements. Encourage them to advertise in your local and statenewsletters.
