COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE
The Communications Committee is primarily responsible for the dissemination of information from FNSA to NSNA and vice versa via social media, the official FNSA website, and the FNSA Hotline. The Hotline is our quarterly newsletter and culmination of announcements from FNSA as well as contributions from schools around the state. The Hotline allows us to showcase our shared commitment to bettering public health as well as the profession of nursing. Please note that the 2025 FNSA House of Delegates has voted to combine the Communications Committee with the Image of Nursing Committee upon the adoption of the 2026 FNSA Bylaws.
