Use of Images

Permission must be received before using images in chapter flyers and brochures.  If proper permission hasn’t been granted, there may be a violation of copyright or fair use laws for which APNA is responsible.  Here’s a link to a helpful webpage that discusses the laws for using images.

Member Bridge

APNA Member Bridge is an online tool for knowledge sharing and networking with other APNA members.  As the Chapter Leader, we would like you to use this vehicle in tandem with the chapter’s web pages to communicate with members in your chapter.  A link to the chapter community is at the top of every webpage for your chapter.  Members are automatically subscribed to the chapter community when they join APNA.  If you haven’t had the opportunity to take advantage of Member Bridge, here’s a comprehensive user’s guide.

There is a community on Member Bridge for chapter leaders to network and share their experiences.  Chapter Presidents and President-Elects are automatically subscribed to this community.  We suggest you change your subscription for this community to receive messages in “real” time.
