Are you an INA Member with a great idea that you would like the Board of Directors to consider? Do you have some constructive feedback about the decision that the Board or staff have made regarding the association? We want to hear from you and have several avenues for you to do that.
Town Hall
Every few months, the INA hosts a Town Hall on our Facebook Page. This event is not only your chance to ask questions about how the INA works behind the scenes but it is also your chance to share your ideas and share your respectful feedback.
During the Town Hall INA Staff and Board of Directors are available in real time via posts and comments to interact with you. If you have a question that we don’t immediately have an answer for, we will find out and get back to you with the answer.
When we plan these events, we work to alternate them at different times of the day each time so that those in the industry all across the world have the chance to attend at a time that is convenient for them. However, if you cannot attend the Town Hall live, you can always see the discussion and ask additional questions after the event is over. (Tagging Executive Director Marcia Hall is extra helpful for quick answers). Check out our Event Page for details on our next Town Hall.
Reach out to a Committee Chair
If you have an idea for how you think we can strengthen a particular committee, we encourage you to reach out the Committee Chair directly. A list of our Committees and the Chairs of those committees can be found on our website.
Email the Office
If you are not on Facebook or prefer to share your idea privately, you can reach out to the INA office via email at memberservices@nanny.org.
INA Conference Caucus
Those who attend the INA Annual Conference are welcome to attend the appropriate track Caucus. This session near the end of our conference is designed for attendees to share their ideas moving forward. INA Board Members are present and will take that feedback directly to the Board Meeting the next day.
Attend an Open Board of Directors Meeting
The Board meets in person 2 times a year and via conference call at least one additional time in the summer. There is also often a winter Board Meeting via conference call. If you are interested in attending or listening in on a Board Meeting please reach out to the INA office for upcoming details.
Please note that while INA Members are welcome at these meetings, they are asked to keep conversations confidential and are not allowed to deliver any remarks during this time. If a member who has attended a Board Meeting would like to offer feedback, he or she can do so by reaching out in one of the ways mentioned above.
Thanks so much to each and every one of you for helping to make the INA a positive and encouraging learning environment; we appreciate it!
