The National Nursing Committee (NNC) was established in 1910, with Jane Delano as its first chair. Local and state committees were also established. The NNC supported and guided nursing involvement in all Red Cross services. Over time, the NNC was eliminated and then reestablished. The most recent NNC has functioned continuously since 1992. The NNC supports nurse recruitment, engagement and partnerships that represent communities served by the Red Cross. This diverse and committed group includes many nationally-recognized leaders in our profession.
