Our Mission

Our mission is to promote the professional development of nurses working with persons with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. We do this by providing educational opportunities and information sharing through networking with others in the field. We strive to make a difference and, most importantly, support one another in our nursing specialty.

NYSIDDDNA Zone Map

The association established zones to facilitate and encourage local participation. Each zone determines its own structure based on the needs and interests of members.

Zones elect officers or chairpersons, and appoint representatives to the association’s executive board. They conduct meetings and educational programs for professional development and to foster networking among ID/DD nurses.
