LeadershipBoard of Directors Committees Appointments Representatives House of Delegates Professional Staff
NSH appointments are individuals who serve a role in the society without the assistance of a committee. NSH appointments are made by the President. Editor, NSH In ActionJanet Dapson As the Editor of NSH In Action, Janet's role is to plan, produce, and publish a well-written, informative, interesting, and up-to-the minute newsletter. She functions as editor, typist, designer, desktop publisher, photographer, and proofreader. Current Happenings: 2009 Annual Report Four issues of NSH In Action have been published this past year: Fall 2008, Winter 2009, Spring 2009 and Summer 2009. Beginning with the Fall 2008 issue, the newsletter has been printed in full color. In part, this was spawned by the need for color reproduction of photomicrographs on the NSH Quick Quiz page. Quarterly reminders of the submission date for each edition of the newsletter are distributed to NSH Officers, Chairs, Appointees and Region Directors. In addition to assembling the newsletter and interfacing with the printing company and mailing service, I convert every issue of NSH In Action to portable document format (pdf) for placement on the NSH website. Publication of the newsletter entails regular contact with the NSH President, NSH Office, Board of Directors, BOD Appointees, Committee Chairs and committee members to obtain and discuss articles. As a result of such communications, items may be added or removed as regular features. Continuing education opportunities, such as the JOH Continuing Education test form and the NSH Quick Quiz, are an important portion of the newsletter. With additional NSH educational events being conducted throughout the year, promotional and review articles on these meetings are included. Region Directors, Committee Chairs and Appointees have been strongly encouraged to submit articles which describe activities that are relevant to all NSH members. I have been pleased with the enthusiastic response from many of the newly installed Directors, Chairs and Appointees. Electronic communications with State Newsletter Editors occurs as needed throughout the year to address questions and problems. The State Newsletter Editors meeting at the 2008 NSH Annual Symposium/Convention in Pittsburgh allowed for personal communication, discussion of problems and exchange of ideas. As Editor of NSH In Action, my goal is to furnish the best communication possible from the Board of Directors, NSH Office, Educational Resources CoordinatorCarrie Diamond The Educational Resources Coordinator reviews and updates the Annual NSH Educational Resource Guide.
