FNPN offers meaningful and varied opportunities for all members to be involved. We are all working professionals with limited time to give back to the profession so one needs to choose the best fit for your passion and your time. Whether you seek career building projects, job seeking, or simply want to network and meet new colleagues in your practice area or in an area of interest, FNPN can link you that way. Volunteerism with FNPN can be short-term as a member of a small task force group or contributing to an urgent need committee. You can adjust the time you can give at the start up and flex as your time permits too! One recent example of a quick working group was to secure the Governors NP week proclamation! Time investment minimal but PR impact huge!

Volunteers with FNPN gain from volunteering, such as learning new skills and experience in health, social services and education, which can often help advance your career or assist in deciding how to really focus your career. Volunteer programs are offered year-round and statewide.

Some real needs now are members to help with the Conference, Practice and PR committees. Volunteering here can be a small investment of time by simply web clipping and sending NP's in the news articles to share or be really involved working closely with the Board to move us in the direction you want FNPN go over the next 10 years!

As you review the current list of committees to chose from, let me ask you this one question posed to me by Dr. Imogene King, nursing advocate and theorist, "So what are you doing for your profession?" I did not have a great answer back then, but it got me into my long career of being a NP advocate. Is today that starting day for you too?
