DCNP 2026 Board of Directors Ballot

Members of the Delaware Coalition of Nurse Practitioners (DCNP) are a critical component to the organization's continued function and leadership. Each January, DCNP holds elections for positions on the Board of Directors. This cycle, the positions up for election are the President Elect, the Treasurer and the Southern Chapter Coordinator. Below is the DCNP 2026 Election Ballot. Although this year we have one candidate for each open position , it is just as important for members to vote in the election.
