2025 TXENA Delegate Selection Application

It is an honor and a privilege to serve as a Texas ENA Delegate. Delegates serve in that capacity to help shape the direction of the organization at the annual ENA General Assembly. Delegates must meet criteria set forth by the National ENA Bylaws. Delegates are selected using a point system. Points are accumulated for holding elected office and committee activity from Jan 1, 2025, through May 31, 2025. Additional points are accumulated for meeting attendance at Texas ENA general assembly, chapter meetings and other activities such as voting in the national ENA election, publications, and ENA presentations from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2025.

Points are also awarded for current specified certification and ENPC/TNCC instructor/course director activity. To accumulate points for Texas ENA meetings attended; the member must stay for the majority of the state council meeting. Local meeting attendance, local elected office and committee activity must be verified by the chapter president. Additional points are available if you have published an article or presented at the ENA Annual Meeting.

Each section of the application has a maximum number of points. You will need to TRACK YOUR OWN POINT TOTALS. At the end of your application, be sure to review your answers. Your individual point totals will be found on the review page. Delegates will be ranked in order of points to fill the available delegate positions. The State President is automatically seated as a Texas ENA delegate.

NOTE: You may NOT accumulate points as both the Chair and as a member of the same committee.
