Northwest Navy Nurse Corps Association (NWNNCA) The Northwest is the birthplace of the NNCA but we were the second chapter to be formed. The Navy Nurse Corps Association Museum is located in Washington State and NW chapter members manage and maintain this collection of Navy Nurse Corps memorabilia. In May 2002 the NW chapter hosted the NNCA reunion with a cruise to Alaska. Over 800 Navy Nurse Corps members with their families and friends participated in the tour. Membership: NWNNCA is open to all Navy Nurses, active reserve, former and retired. Currently membership includes nurses from the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Alaska. There are over 100 active NWNNCA members. There is a board of directors, which meets twice a year in the summer and winter. Any member may volunteer to be a board member. Board members are then elected by the membership. Officers are selected from the members of the board. Meetings: Two luncheon meetings are held annually. These meetings are held on the second or third Saturday of April and October. The specifics of each meeting are posted in the newsletter sent out to NWNNCA members in March and September. Chapter Dues: NWNNCA membership dues are $5 per year and may be paid with the annual NNCA dues each Spring. Chapter Mission/Projects: The Mission of the NW chapter is to facilitate information sharing, socialization, and camaraderie among local Navy Nurses. Chapter projects include fund raising, selection of nursing school scholarship recipients and selection of outstanding graduating NROTC nursing students.
