NEPALESE AMERICAN NURSES ASSOCIATION

Greetings,

It is both an honor and a privilege to serve as the current President of NANA (2025/2026). I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the NANA members for placing their confidence in me and entrusting me with this responsibility. 

My sincere appreciation extends to our current executive committee members. Your commitment and collaboration are instrumental in enabling NANA to achieve its objectives and positively impact our community.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my predecessor, Dr. Sangita Pudasainee-Kapri, and her executive team and all past leaders for their dedicated service and exemplary leadership. Their hard work has been pivotal to NANA's success, and their continued involvement is invaluable to our future endeavors. 

Additionally, I wish to thank all the organizations and agencies that have supported and collaborated with NANA both in the past and present. I look forward to receiving the same continuous support.

Since joining NANA in 2016, I have actively participated in numerous activities. I have held several key positions, including assistant treasurer, secretary, and executive member. Each role has enriched my commitment and understanding of our mission to support Nepalese nurses and enhance community health initiatives. 

Active participation in volunteer opportunities is crucial to NANA’s success. It not only contributes to community health initiatives but also fosters professional growth and strengthens the bonds among members. Through volunteering, I have acquired valuable skills, gained a broad range of experiences, and made meaningful contributions to our community.

I encourage all members to engage more actively in NANA’s community efforts. Participation in NANA events provides opportunities to connect with fellow members, share knowledge, receive career guidance, and contribute meaningfully to the community's health landscape.

I am looking forward to a remarkable 2025/2026 term. I am grateful for your partnership and dedication to our organization.

I wish you all continued good health and prosperity.

Ang Yankey Sherpa, MSN, RN, FNP-BC.
