New York State Nurses for Political Action.

Hide Profile

New York State Nurses for Political Action (NYS-NPA) had its origins in Nurses for Political Action (NPA), an organization formed in 1971 by a group of nurses from New York City and Long Island "concerned and disenchanted about trends in Health Care and the impact or lack of impact or nursing on these trends." The NYS-NPA was officially organized in May 1976 as an independent PAC. NYSNA supplied start-up money and other assistance, with liaison via NYSNA's Board and Legislative Program and the NYS-NPA Board of Trustees. NYS-NPA had two functions: to further the political education of nurses, including registration and voting; and to raise funds and make contributions to candidates for political office in New York State. NYS-NPA ceased to exist after the NYSNA Voting Body established a political action committee in 1991. NYSNA PAC bylaws provided for initial Board representation from NYS-NPA.
