The NP Council is a structural unit of
the North Carolina Nurses Association (NCNA). NCNA membership
is a prerequisite to Council membership and participation
in Council activities at all levels. The Council is divided
into geographic regions across the state. Each region
is a sub-structural unit of the Council and of NCNA. This
regional structure is designed to enhance communication,
networking, continuing education and leadership development
opportunities
at the grassroots level.
Current Council Chair is Tom
Bush, MSN, FNP-BC
Vice Chair, Bette Ferree;
Secretary, Deborah Varnam;
Member-at-Large, Sharyn Conrad;
Member-at-Large, John Stover
