Organizational Affiliate Program

Our mission is to strengthen the nursing profession. The ability of DNA to meet that mission is enhanced by the knowledge and expertise of our organizational affiliates: Delaware and regionally based specialty nursing associations. By working together, we can collaborate to find solutions to nursing issues and healthcare challenges in our state and bring forward a stronger nursing voice across Delaware.

What are the benefits of affiliation?

Submission of professional policy proposals for consideration by DNA.
Hold or submit names for appointed positions on committees, task forces, ad hoc groups, etc.
Publication of the affiliation on all communications including your organization's name and website.
