Council of Nephrology Nurses and Technicians of the National Kidney Foundation
Executive Committee
The CNNT Executive Committee is composed of thirteen members:
- Chair
- Chair-Elect
- Immediate Past Chair, Membership Chair
- Publications Chair and Co-Chair
- Clinical Nephrology Program Chair and Co-Chair
- Cybernephrology Chair
- Regional Vice Chairs of the five National Kidney Foundation Regions
The Executive Committee meets twice a year to set CNNT goals and to conduct the Council's business. Executive Committee meetings are held during the NKF Clinical Nephrology Meeting in the spring and one additional time in the year. The additional meeting is coordinated with the NKF Board. The CNNT National Membership elects most of the members of the Executive Committee. Committee members also serve on various ad hoc committees to develop special projects and position papers to further the goals, priorities, and interests of CNNT.
The Executive Committee members are listed below. Please feel free to contact your Region Representative or any other Executive Committee member at any time to provide us with your ideas, to volunteer for a special project, or whenever you need additional information. There are five CNNT Regions. Determine your region representative.
The effectiveness of the Executive Committee is directly related to knowing and responding to the needs of Local Chapters and Members.
