Honor Roll designees receive recognition on an annual basis in the Tar Heel Nurse, on the NCNA website, and at the Annual Convention. Once someone is inducted into the Honor Roll, their name is permanently on the recognition listing.
If you feel you fit the description of being a member of your state and national association for over 40 years without a lapse in dual membership, please contact the NCNA office to receive an application. This group is also open to nominations of non-nurses that have positively influenced the nursing profession. NCNA members can nominate a non-nurse by also requesting an application. The NCNA Board will have final decision for approval at the mid-year Board Meeting.
