The decision to submit your profile is an important one. Helping people in times of need is an honor, but it’s also an incredible responsibility. Because our website is highly visible, advocates must be prepared to receive inquiries from the public and be able to provide assistance when people call.

GNA may exercise discretion whether to publish submissions and GNA retains the discretion to remove or modify any submission at any time with or without notice.

Please provide your name followed by your credentials as you would like them to appear in the directory.  Please don’t include your job title or employment affiliation in this section.

The following are examples of how you should submit your name and professional credentials:
