MNA Seeks an Executive Director

The Executive Director is a hybrid executive position of the Maryland Nurses Association (MNA) working full-time hours. MNA is governed by a Board of Directors (Board), which serves as an advisory board to the Executive Director for setting priorities and strategic direction, overseeing resource allocations, and ensuring that all activities align with MNA’s mission. The Board is comprised of the Officers and eight voting-member district representatives. The committee chair(s) meet with the Board but have no vote.

The Executive Director is responsible for the management, development, and operations of the association.
