05/17/2019 NAMHSA Updates Qualifying Policies Regarding NAN Cards

NAMHSA Updates Qualifying Policies Regarding NAN Cards In April 2019, the NAMHSA Board of Directors voted a change in policy with regards to qualifying and extention of NAN cards in the event that NAN is cancelled or the date has changed. The proposal, brought forth by President Sara Parr and seconded by Region 3 Representative Vicky Kitzman, was approved as follows: NAMHSA Policy IV. NAN, Section D 4. In case of Cancellation or Date Change of NAN, qualification Cards will automatically be extended for additional 1 year of eligibility. Of immediate interest for our members, show holders and hobbyists alike, this policy will resolve the current need of a Board vote when NAN does not occur or in the instance of a date change. As NAN 2019 will not be held, all NAN cards that are expiring in 2019 will be eligible for use at NAN 2020. Voting record of issue: Yes = 8 votes: Bethany Shaw (Region 1), Robin Kent (Region 2), Vicky Kitzman (Region 3), Amber Stearnes (Region 5), Melissa Meader (Region 7), Meghan Namaste (Region 8),Rachel Stacy (Region 9), Christina Riley (Region 10). No = 0 votes. Abstain = 0 votes. Did Not Vote: Lindsay Diamond (Region 4), Nicole Ramos (Region 6), Lynn Royea (Region 11).
