MANS COMMITTEES
Membership Committee
The Membership and Nominations Committee works to recruit new members to both MANS and the NSNA, maintain accurate and up-to-date membership records, and verify potential candidates for open MANS Board of Directors positions. Members of the committee will attend monthly MANS Board meetings to prepare the slate of candidates for convention. At the Annual Convention, committee members have the opportunity to get involved behind the scenes by helping to register floor candidates and assist with the election process.

Newsletter Committee
The Newsletter Committee consists of students who have an interest in writing and communications. Members work together to contribute to the creation of the MANS Quarterly newsletter. They have the opportunity to participate in anything, from editing articles to writing their own. For more information, contact mansnewsletter@gmail.com.
Convention Planning committee
Every year, MANS hosts a convention that hundreds of students from throughout the state attend. It is a monumental task to organize the event. The convention planning committee assists the Vice President and the other BOD members to finalize details related to vendors, breakout sessions, and even food choices. If you have experience with event planning or enjoy coordinating large gatherings, this would be a perfect way for you to get involved with MANS. Also, since planning the MANS convention is the BOD's largest job each year, if you are interested in running for a position on the board in 2024-25 this would be a great way for you to see what the majority of our year is all about.
