Transcultural Nursing Society

Chapters, Regional Liaisons,

and Cooperative Alliances

 

The Transcultural Nursing Society has Chapters, Regional Liaisons, and Cooperative Alliances. To be a member of a Chapter or Regional Liaison, you must also be a member of the Transcultural Nursing Society.

A chapter is a formally recognized unit approved by the Board of Trustees. Chapter members usually share common geographic areas, must be members of the Corporation, and adhere to rules and by-laws of the Society. Chapters may call meetings at any time and conduct conferences related t the purposes of the Corporation.

In accordance with the bylaws, a group may seek approval from the Board of Trustees to form a Chapter of the Transcultural Nursing Society.  Such chapter must adhere to the goals and purposes of the Society.  A "Request for Approval of a Chapter" form shall be completed by the Chapter Representatives and submitted to the Member-at-Large:

Cheryl Elhammoumi, BSN, BA, RN, CCRN

A Regional Liaison is an individual who serves as a contact for the purposes of promoting membership and interest in the TCNS. Regional liaisons serve geographical areas that do not have a designated Chapter.

A Cooperative Alliance is an organization that collaborates with the TCNS for the purposes of educational exchanges, joint conferences, mutual support, and promotion of joint membership of its members.
