Network Group Structure

NANDA-I Membership Network Groups provide a framework for NANDA-I
members to foster the work of NANDA–I and promote membership within a country, region, language or specialty.

Each Network Group designates a Coordinator who is a Regular Member of NANDA International, and serves as a member of the NANDA-I Membership and External Relations Committee.

NANDA-I Membership Network Groups are recognized as part of the greater organization. As such, Network Groups operate according to
NANDA-I Bylaws and Membership Network Group policies.

All members of NANDA-I Membership Network Groups must become active members of NANDA International within 3 months of the group receiving
Board approval. Click here for NANDA-I membership information.

The Board reserves the right to dissolve a NANDA-I Membership Network Group that does not function in accordance with the aims and objectives of the organization and its bylaws.
