While the board meets periodically in person, we are always working on ways to advance ANA into the future and working hard on behalf of the membership. My current goals include finding ways for recent graduates to contribute more fully to the ANA as well as developing more tangible benefits for members of all experience levels. I am very passionate about the legislative initiatives that ANA is working on this year and expect to see some great improvements in our staffing laws, durable medical good prescriptions and in patient handling in the months to come. If we are passionate, dedicated and knowledgeable, we can succeed in every endeavor.
