WI Nurses Political Action Committee (WINPAC)
WINPAC is the political action arm of the Wisconsin Nurses Association whose primary purpose is to develop political power through increased awareness and political involvement. Its goal is to educate nurses and health care consumers about the elective process, the records of officeholders and candidates, and the important political issues related to nurses, nursing, and health; to stimulate nurses and health care consumers to become active in governmental affairs; to assist nurses and health care consumers in organizing for effective political action; and to promote candidates for state public office who have demonstrated responsible awareness of nurses’ needs and the health needs of people.
The WINPAC Board of Trustees is nonpartisan and consists of eight elected contributors to WINPAC, one appointed member from the WNA Public Policy Council, and one appointed member from the WNA Board of Directors. You need not be a member of WNA to be a member of the WINPAC Board of Trustees. The Board meets 3-5 times per year either in person or via conference call. During election years, the Board's main responsibility is endorsement of state legislative candidates. The Board’s main responsibility in non-election years is to fundraise for endorsement activities for the following election year. The Board also sponsors such events as legislative receptions and speakers at WNA’s Nurses Day at the Capitol. Please contact the WNA office if you are interested in becoming a member of WINPAC.
Monetary contributions to WINPAC are appreciated and accepted at any time. Please include your address and place of employment with all contributions for record keeping purposes. These can be sent to WINPAC, 6117 Monona Drive, Madison, WI 53716.
