Delegate Credentialing:

Please click here for Delegate Credentialing Information

To be considered for Delegate credentialing at our Annual State Convention, VNSA must receive a copy of your School's Bylaws. There are 3 basic requirements for Constituency status:

There are 10 NSNA members in the school chapter by February 15th. 2023. If your chapter does not fulfill this member requirement, you will still receive one vote at the VNSA State Convention.
The Bylaws must contain the areas of conformity listed in the NSNA Official Application for Constituency Status (application is in Getting the Pieces to Fit).
A school or state officer has signed and submitted the NSNA Official Application for Constituency Status and is postmarked no later than the annual cutoff date. This form must be filed with the NSNA annually.
