The Delaware Association of Nurse Anesthetists Bylaws Committee is proposing a change in the organizational structure of our bylaws regarding the composition of our Board of Directors.  The Bylaw Committee recommends that DANA formally transition the role of Board Secretary to an "at-large" Director position. This change would occur for the 2026 - 2027 term.

This change would allow for greater flexibility in our leadership and operations. The duties previously handled by the Secretary are and have been handled by our association management company. Instituting the change would free up a valuable seat for a Director who could contribute to our strategic vision without being tied to a specific administrative function without needing to add to the number of board members.

We believe this adjustment will enhance our collective ability to respond to future challenges and opportunities. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at office@delawareana.org.

Pursuant to DANA bylaws, eligible DANA may vote vote on the proposed amendments at the DANA Annual Meeting in Rehoboth Beach Delaware October 10-12, 2025.
