Hello Everyone,
Here is a great opportunity to become active in SACSNA and show your leadership skills while having fun!

Many of the SACSNA Board of Directors and all of the officers will be graduating this Spring, so that means there are many openings to fill.

SACSNA can use great nursing students like YOU to fill these new positions. SACSNA can then continue as a wonderful organization that supports the SAC nursing students. Also, perspective employers look for leadership skills in their employees, so it's a win-win situation and opportunity.

Please contact Megan Crum if you are interested at megs686@hotmail.com
