ISNA Board of Directors Meeting
March 7, 2008

ISNA BOARD SUMMARIES

The ISNA Board of Directors held a conference call at 4:30 pm, EST, on March 7, 2008, to discuss ISNA’s continued affiliation with the United American Nurses.

Participants: Ella Sue Harmeyer, President; Paula McAfee, Treasurer; Judy Barbeau, Secretary; Eleanor Donnelly, Jennifer Embree, and Vickie L. Johnson, Directors; Ernest C. Klein, Jr., ISNA Executive Director.

Absent with Notice: Katherine Willock.

Absent: Barbara Kelly, Vice-President; Michael Fights

The Board voted to immediately disaffiliate as an Associate Affiliate of the United American Nurses because of their concern with the direction the UAN Executive Committee has taken the UAN. ISNA continues to support the right of nurses to have a written employment contract and will continue to honor the shared services agreement with the Ohio Nurses Association. A decision about support/affiliation with another national organization will be made when that organization has been identified.

The Board also agreed to support funding in an amount up to $2,500 for a consultant to work with the Indiana Nursing Workforce Development Coalition on the matter of low nursing school faculty salaries in Indiana. Indiana is on the bottom level of the Big 10 and below the 50 percentile of schools throughout the Midwest.

Call adjourned at 5:03 pm, EST.
