Become an AANN Volunteer
One of the major reasons the American Association of Neuroscience Nurses (AANN) continues to grow and thrive is the many hours of work contributed by our dedicated volunteers.
We value the time and efforts of our volunteer members and invite you to join their growing ranks. Volunteering provides you with opportunities to network with other neuroscience nurses and to become a leader in the field. The time commitment required varies widely for each committee and there is something for everyone. Committee positions are typically posted early in the calendar year and terms start at or right after the Annual Educational Meeting. Shorter-term volunteer projects or task force opportunities are posted as they arise and terms vary depending on the project.
Open volunteer opportunities are listed on the NeuroNetwork volunteer page or below.
Please email info@aann.org for more information on volunteering opportunities.
