Ways to Give Back

As a Texas Nurse Practitioner, you’ve already taken the first step by being a member. Your dedication to caring for Texans makes a real difference every day. By giving back through one of TNP’s funds or initiatives, you can further strengthen the profession, support your colleagues, and help shape the future of healthcare in our state. Below are meaningful ways you can continue to make an impact.

TNP POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (PAC)

Supporting Leaders Who Support NPs

The TNP PAC helps elect and keep in office state public officials—regardless of party affiliation—who champion legislative priorities that expand patient access to quality healthcare and recognize nurse practitioners as essential providers. The PAC also promotes political education and encourages active participation in the legislative process among NPs.
This is a member-funded PAC, and all TNP members are encouraged to contribute and make their voices heard. (Corporate contributions are not allowed.)
