5. Candidate's Campaign Statement (250-300 words, including your research and leadership

background to your service in a leadership role in SNRS):

My name is Dr. Paula Glass and I believe my keyboard skills can provide the SNRS with quality

documentation in a timely manner. I am conscientious and have a successful track record of

maintaining faculty minutes live, typing them during meetings followed by proof-reading,

editing and prompt distribution of minutes to committee members and administrative

personnel. Besides being organized I effectively ensure team workflow and goal-oriented

progress. For over two years I was responsible for monthly nursing faculty meeting minutes. For

two years I was the Chair of the Health Sciences cohort at Palm Beach State College.

Responsibilities included taking, typing, and distribution of cohort minutes biannually in

collaboration with the Assistant Dean of Health Sciences. Meeting minutes were kept in the

institution’s format, submitted for Assistant Dean approval, followed by distribution to the

Health Sciences cohort. Accurate attendance and listed attendees were included. Since January

2012, I have been an adjunct faculty at Florida International University’s College of Nursing and

Health Sciences. I have completed my Ph.D. in nursing and in lieu of a full-time position I can

devote the time and effort necessary to successfully perform the duties of the Secretary for the

SNRS.
