Update December 19/11, 1pm
On Thursday last week, you will have received an email from me that indicated a Second Call for Nominations for the Member-at-Large positions of Nursing Education, Nursing Practice and Nursing Research.

Just to clarify, the original Call for Nominations for these three positions, and the other two MAL positions and Committee vacancies, was issued some months ago (and also advertised in the RNJournal, July\August 2011). The original deadline date is today, MONDAY, DECEMBER 19 at 5:00pm.

The integrity of this deadline will still be respected, e.g. if nominations are in good order and correctly completed, and are received by 5:00pm today, December 19, they will be accepted (and then vacancies will be closed to further nominations).

I apologize for the confusion in the email of last Thursday – this was sent to encourage nominations where there were still none.

If you have any questions or require further information, please be in touch with Penny Lamanna, RNAO Board Affairs Coordinator at plamanna@RNAO.org.
