Just to be clear, I am not a member of the INA, I simply subscribe to their emails. As I believe that some people will be interested in the town hall, I am posting the content of the email here:
INA Town Hall Your Chance to be a part of the process Do you want to hear the latest from the INA? Looking for more details about conference 2017 in Chicago? Curious what else is going on with nannies and agency owners around the country and around the world? Then join the INA Board of Directors on Thursday June 9th from 8:00-9:00PM Eastern Standard Time. Several INA members and staff will be available to answer questions and “chat” live with the membership. We will be using the INA Facebook “Town Hall” event page to connect with you in a Town Hall type chat. Remember to participate in the event, all you need to do is log into Facebook, go to this event page at the correct time and join in the conversation via posts and comments. No calling in. No chat rooms. Just join the event page. The pace can get fast and you may have to refresh your browser from time to time. If you miss the event, you can always check back later in the night or the next day to see what was discussed. If you have a question that you would like answered, you are welcome to submit them before the event and we will have the answer ready for you right away.

| Quite a bit of interest for a nonmember. Are you the hired office person sharing all these details? |

| Who is in charge to be sure nannies are supported in areas like being paid on the books? Also when are agencies getting out or at least off the board? Is APNA going to let nannies on their board? Can these question be part of the meeting, or are agencies doing this meeting? |

They have a nonfunctional legislative committee headed by agency owner, Kathy Webb. So no, there's zero effort to support the work of nannies, or the children in their care. |

You the nanny are in charge of making sure you only take a job that is on the books. Only you can let yourself be taken advantage of - no one else is responsible for your decisions. Support and education are available.

Typical INA and APNA agency response to everything. "If you nannies are having a problem, it's your own fault." Even when INA and APNA agencies get told that their own members are guilty of allowing law-breaking parents to have access to their agency nannies. Scum. |
