NSNA Leadership University Library – Bylaws and Policies Activity
 
Earn credit by Participating in the Bylaws and Policies Committee
 
As an NSNA leader, you’ll learn and practice important leadership skills by participating in the NSNA Bylaws and Policies Program. The following may be helpful when approaching faculty to explore the possibility of having your NSNA participation partially fulfill course requirements or independent study elective. Use your course syllabus, if there is already one available for NSNA activities at your school, to see if you can meet the objectives with the following leadership activities. If your program does not already have a NSNA activity for credit course option, speak to your advisor about drafting your own independent study syllabus or petition (see NSNA Leadership U Models from Participating Schools for more guidance in this area). You can tailor them to meet your needs!
