Here is the problem Courtney and Marsia, many on here are not happy as they are stating of the the control agencies have of the INA. Perhaps INA was formed as Marcia said by nannies, agencies and educators and became the umbrella of the industry. Where I think things should have changed with the INA is when agencies and educators decided they wanted their own thing. Why cant the agencies now step down and let nannies run the INA? Everyone is invited to INA conferences but with APNA no nannies allowed. Nanny Palozza and NNTD was formed by nannies for nannies and agencies can attend these as well as educators, these two bodies did not break from INA.

IMO I think INA would have more respect from nannies if at least [b]only nannies comprise the board[/b] and nannies voted for this. Let APNA do their thing and let INA do theirs, or ask APNA to allow nannies on their board.[/quote]

I can't speak for the INA, but the facts are that in any large organization, about 10% of members are actively involved, and about 1% are willing to take on any actual responsibility. So before the agencies can be kicked off the board, someone needs to find a bunch of nannies who also have business experience and experience running a non-profit. Or a bunch of nannies willing to learn how to make a non-profit organization run. Or even just nannies willing to commit to being a board member for a year, as long as they aren't expected to do much.

So those of you here who are angry about agency involvement in the INA, feel free to step up and tell us who you are and when you plan to run to be an INA board member.

Anyone?

Please take note, people. The above poster is a perfect example of what another poster called the "superior" attitude of INA agencies. They need to get off the INA board if INA is to become a successful nanny association. This is very clear.[/quote]

Exactly!  :shock:

Many nannies have a college education and would be very capable of running INA without agencies. Nannies are dedicated and work far more hours than agencies. MY guess is nannies are not stepping up because of the way some agencies look down on them as example above the PP, nannies are not looking to mingle with these people. [/quote]
Marcia and Courtney were probably told not to post anything else here.[/quote]
