CARNA proposing to give CEO sole authority to appoint to committees

CARNA is proposing a significant bylaw revision to give the Chief Executive Officer position the exclusive ability to make appointments to its working committees.

Up until now the elected CARNA Provincial Council has made the appointments to these committees.

The bylaw amendments were proposed at CARNA Provincial Council at its September 17th meeting.

According to CARNA Bylaws, notice of Bylaw changes must be posted on the CARNA website at least 60 days before the date of any meeting at which it is to be voted on. Members have until November 22, 2010 to provide feedback.

Feedback can be submitted to carna@nurses.ab.ca

The committees that the CEO will now make all appointments to are:

Registration Committee
Registration Review Committee
Competence Committee
Appeals Committee
Hearing Tribunal
Complaint Review Committee
Reinstatement Review Committee
Nursing Educating Provincial Advisory Board
