Chapters/Liaisons

Get Involved with the Transcultural Nursing Society

The Transcultural Nursing Society (TCNS) offers dynamic opportunities for members to connect, collaborate, and lead through Chapters, Regional Liaisons, and Cooperative Alliances.

Chapters: Local Leadership, Global Impact

A Chapter is an officially recognized group approved by the TCNS Board of Trustees. Chapter members typically share a geographic region and must be members of the Corporation, committed to upholding the Society’s bylaws and mission.

Chapters have the freedom to:

• Host meetings and events at any time
• Organize conferences aligned with TCNS goals
• Foster community and professional growth

Interested in forming a Chapter? Groups may apply to establish a Networking Chapter by submitting a completed Request for Approval of a Chapter form to staff@tcns.org. All chapters must reflect the Society's values and purpose.

Regional Liaisons: Connect and Inspire
A Regional Liaison serves as a vital point of contact in areas without an established Chapter. These individuals promote TCNS membership, spark interest in transcultural nursing, and help build bridges across communities.

Cooperative Alliances: Partner for Progress

A Cooperative Alliance is a formal partnership between TCNS and another organization.

These alliances support:

• Educational exchanges
• Joint conferences and initiatives
• Shared membership opportunities
• Mutual advancement of culturally congruent care
