Regional Councils
Regional councils allow members to gather in their local communities to build relationships and collectively address regional issues and concerns. Regional councils choose their own council chairpersons and these chairpersons become appointed members of the NWONE Board of Directors. Council Chairs serve a two year term on the NWONE Board of Directors, but may be reappointed by their regional constituency to subsequent terms.

If you live in a region without a chairperson or
active council, consider stepping into this leadership role for your area by
contacting Gladys Campbell, chief executive officer, NWONE and chief nurse executive and senior
leader for clinical strategy, WSHA at gladysc@wsha.org.
Support from the NWONE staff and board will assist you to get a council reinvigorated in your region.
