15 then be presented to Management Committee for endorsement and made available to DANA members. Policy Adjustments It is the role of the Management Committee to review policies on a regular basis.

17 Appendix Frequently Asked Questions How often should I meet with Chapter members? Each chapter is different. However you should aim to hold at least one face to face meeting every 3 months How often should I be in touch with Chapter members? With new DANA members in your chapter you should make contact with them personally within 2 weeks of receiving notice that hey have joined. In general you should aim to send one communication by to Chapter members every month. It should highlight items that are of local interest as well as DANA matters of national and international interest Can I expect time from my employer to support this meeting? Very few Chapter Representatives are able to do any DANA work in their employer s time. How do I apply for Continuous Nurse Education Points? Nurses are able to maintain their own records of continuous education based on 1 hour = 1 point. However it is a nice touch for Chapter Representative to send a Certificate of Attendance to their own Chapter Members for their records for any education events that they attend. A template is available. How do I get funding for these meetings? Depending on the circumstances some pharmaceutical representatives might be able to help with sponsorship. This depends on your own relationship with these people. Many Chapters hold their meetings in inexpensive venues if other forms of sponsorship are unavailable. Where do we hold the meetings? It s up to you restaurants, meeting rooms at workplaces etc. Ensure that the meeting is held in a room with a door where you can hold your meeting in private, not in an open public area. In the 2012 DANA satisfaction survey, there was some negative feedback about using hotels as venues for DANA Chapter meetings. How do I organise professional development days for my region? Post activity report For major events such as symposia or workshops, a post event report is required which will include the number of attendees, any sponsorship, feedback from sponsors, feedback from attendees etc. For Chapter meetings, include a brief summary in your monthly report to the Management Committee. 17

18 Chapter Representatives Planning Tool Sample objectives and strategies 1. To increase the professional profile of DANA within the region: Liaise with Peak Nursing Bodies / Associations to inform them of DANA and explore opportunities to develop partnerships; Coordinate a Nursing Forum / Workshop on ATOD Issues; 2. To Increase Membership of DANA Identify key areas and opportunities to promote DANA within your region; Identify appropriate areas and opportunities to circulate Membership Forms / Newsletters / Website information; 3. Provide Professional support to Nurses and Midwives to ensure effective response to management of ATOD Issues. Set up a regular meeting with members; Facilitate some education sessions within your local chapter; Liaise with other D&A Nurses to explore what they are doing and promote collegial relationships within the field; Find a way to share your ideas, expertise and resources which will help you in your everyday practice e.g. promote the DANA Discussion Forum; Identify opportunities to engage and consider the needs of your Chapter members, metropolitan, rural and remote nurses and midwives; 4. Utilise knowledge, experience and support from the DANA Management Committee Ensure participation in teleconferences; Advise Management Committee of outcomes of strategies and any issues which may arise; Contact Vice President (national or international) to discuss issues; 5. Facilitate effective information sharing between the Management Committee and DANA members in your chapter Develop an effective communication strategy; Promote and encourage members to submit contributions to the DANA newsletter, DANA Unwrapped; Send a monthly e-newsletter to your Chapter members; 6. You will also need to: Identify additional resources needed or help required; Determine how will these resources be accessed; Set a date; Establish effective evaluation and monitoring processes in collaboration with the Management Committee; Consider a suitable venue. Does the place where you work have a meeting room? If not, do you have any colleagues who might have a meeting room 18

19 available where they work? Another option might be to go to an inexpensive restaurant. Try to find somewhere that has a room separate to everything else so that you can have your meeting in private. Make sure that you let people know how much the evening is going to cost them; Another option is for you to provide nibbles and cold drinks and ask attendees to contribute some money e.g. $5 per head; Some chapter representatives have organised sponsorship through some of pharmaceutical representatives. One of these companies might be prepared to sponsor a meeting if they have a chance to showcase their products. If you decide to seek pharmaceutical company sponsorship have a plan in mind so that when you approach them you can give them a good idea about who you are, what you want to do, how many people you would like to attend, who you would like to speak (obviously if they sponsor something it helps if the topic is aligned with their business) and when you want to hold it. If they are willing to sponsor then it might have to be at a date that suits them if they are not locally based; DANA has not accepted sponsorship from the alcohol industry or groups that are largely funded through the alcohol industry; Have an agenda and keep good records of who attends your event. Consider providing members with a certificate of attendance. If your event has been endorsed by the RCNA you may use the certificate with the RCNA logo. If there is no endorsement please be sure to remove the logo. 19
