To All Heads of Nursing Training Institutions and Hospitals / ANM Training Centres Dear Madam/ Sir, Greetings from Trained Nurses’ Association of India (TNAI) Hqrs. We all are delighted that TNAI has celebrated 100 glorious years in 2008. At this juncture, we express our heartfelt gratitude to all the visionary nurse leaders who laid the foundation of the Trained Nurses Association of India. It has since evolved as professional national body of nurse practitioners, with worldwide reputation, furthering the interests of nurses and community at large. Ever since Association’s inception you all have nourished, nurtured and nursed every aspect of the Association’s growth and development. We appreciate your deep sense of commitment and cooperation towards the Association. We strongly feel that there is immense scope to further enhance the membership base. In this respect, we avidly look forward to your whole-hearted support because you are the key person to motivate the nurses who are working in your esteemed institution/hospital. Larger membership tends to strengthen an organization in many ways. We, therefore, request you to kindly extend your support for enrolling the TNAI life members. There are several areas in our life when we have to pay serious thought to rendering a selfless service for the good of mankind. The sense of fulfillment and meaningfulness it provides is tremendous. The membership campaign gives an opportunity to all concerned to contribute to a noble cause. We, nurses need to be proud that we are associated with the professional Association. Here we enumerate some of the benefits accruing to Life Members: Opportunity to participate in TNAI/ SNA National Conference, continuing education programmes and other programmes at national and international level. Eligibility for TNAI and SNA Scholarships, 25% Railway concession, 10% discount on TNAI publications, Guest Room facility available at TNAI Hqrs at reasonable charges, Nurse’s welfare grant for the needy members. Annual grant to state branches of TNAI. The Nursing Journal of India (monthly magazine) supplied to the members. Forum to address the issue and grievances to the concerned authorities. And above all a sense of belongingness to the Professional Body. TNAI has revised the incentive criteria for enrolling Life Members (Printed on page 197). We look forward for your participation in enrolling members for the Association. Thanking you with kind regards, Yours sincerely (Mrs. Sheila Seda) Secretary General, TNAI
