Election

SallyAnn Jackson Candidate for President Elect:

I am writing to express my sincere interest in serving as President-Elect of NYSASN.
Having proudly served as Secretary on the Executive Board for the past two years, I
have gained a deep appreciation for our organization's mission, the dedication of our
members, and the important work we do to advance school nursing throughout New
York State.

My time as Secretary has provided me with valuable insight into the operations and
strategic goals of the organization. Through this role, I have collaborated closely with
fellow board members, participated in key decision-making, and remained committed to
supporting initiatives that strengthen our profession and promote excellence in school
health services.

In addition to my leadership experience, I remain committed to my own professional
growth. I recently returned to school to further my education and am currently pursuing
my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). Continuing my education reflects my
dedication to lifelong learning and my commitment to bringing current knowledge,
evidence-based practice, and strong leadership skills to both my nursing career and
NYSASN.

I believe my experience on the Executive Board, combined with my passion for school
nursing and my commitment to continued learning, has prepared me to take on the
responsibilities of President-Elect. I am committed to fostering collaboration, supporting

professional development, advocating for school nurses across New York State, and
ensuring our organization continues to grow and thrive.

If elected, I will lead with integrity, transparency, and a spirit of service. I value the
diverse perspectives of our members and am dedicated to building strong partnerships
that will advance the mission of NYSASN while addressing the evolving needs of school
nurses and the students we serve.

It has been an honor to serve as Secretary, and I would be privileged to continue
serving NYSASN as President-Elect. Thank you for your consideration and for the
opportunity to contribute to the continued success of our organization.

Sincerely,

SallyAnn Jackson, RN, ASN
Secretary, NYSASN Executive Board

Candidate for Secretary   Angela O'Leary

Please accept this letter as a sincere expression of my interest in the Secretary position for the
New York State Association of School Nurses. With an extensive background in executive
board operations, a deep dedication to student health advocacy, and strong technical
proficiencies, I am eager to bring my organizational skills to the NYSASN leadership team. My
Master of Science in Nursing Education and twelve years of school nurse experience blends
with my executive board experience to create a well rounded candidate for this position.
Throughout my career, I have held multiple secretary roles and successfully advanced through
the executive boards of the Suffolk Chapter Columbiettes, the St. Lawrence Columbiettes, and
the Suffolk County Association of School Nurses. These roles required meticulous
record-keeping, clear communication, and the drafting of official correspondence and meeting
minutes. Additionally, my time serving on the School Improvement Team at Sylvan Avenue
Elementary has equipped me with a collaborative, focused approach to strategic planning and
policy implementation.
In addition to my board experience, I am highly proficient in Google Applications including
Docs, Sheets, and Forms. I understand the importance of leveraging these tools to streamline
operations, maintain accurate archives, and ensure that all executive board members have
seamless access to the information they need to best serve the association.
I am organized, detail-oriented, and deeply passionate about supporting the school nurses
who care for New York’s students. I have fulfilled my duties as the current communication
chair and expanded the position to include updating the website and creating a
communication tool to document correspondence. I would welcome the opportunity to
continue to be part of the NYSASN leadership community and add to its growth. Thank you for
your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Angela O’Leary, MSN, RN, NCSN
