2018 Florida Nurses AssociationMessage from the LeadershipSince the current board took office in 2017, much has beenaccomplished. Here are some highlights of the year: Began office with a comprehensive orientation and firstmeeting by Bob Harris, CAE and international associationconsultant. This assures that our Board of Directorsunderstand association operations as well as theirfiduciary responsibilities.Janegale Boyd,PresidentWilla Fuller,Executive Director We enhanced our communication and education programwith videoconferencing technology, not only conductingmeetings through this medium but also holding webinarsand continuing education programs. This past year we experienced several board vacancies due to relocations and personalcircumstances. We have been able to replace all but one position. We initiated a robust strategic planning effort, which was supported by YOU, the membershipwith your participation in our membership survey. The data collected was quite valuable in thework, which continues today. Please stay tuned as we continue to do this valuable work in movingthe association forward. We thank Ken Peach for his work with us on this worthwhile endeavor. Through early mobilization of the Nominating Committee, we conducted a special election forPresident-Elect after Theresa Morrison took a position outside of the United States. Welcometo George Byron Peraza-Smith as the current President-Elect. We are pleased to say that in spite of the above changes, there have been multiple meetings,conferences and events in EVERY Region of the FNA. The engagement of a new award winning lobbying firm and a successful legislative sessionresulted in important legislation passed for CNSes in Florida. This milestone was accomplishedwith partnerships and coalitions. It is important to note that it began with the FNA CNS leaders byway of the formation of a Special Interest Group and the submission of a Reference Proposal at aprior Membership Assembly. The process works! We once again hosted a successful, well-attended Advocacy Days in Tallahassee, which washighly rated by attendees. We utilized this time to address two of the issues passed at the 2017Membership Assembly by holding education sessions on Human Trafficking and the Opioid Crisis. We brokered continued engagement in the nursing community through our presence at QUINCouncil, Florida Association of Colleges of Nursing (FACN) and Florida Council of NurseEducation Administrators (FCNEA), Florida Coalition of Advanced Practice Nurses (FLCAPN) andQUIN Council (Quality and Unity in Nursing) and various others, including Schools of Nursing. We are also very proud to have several young professionals on our Board of Directors. At the timeof this publication, we are engaged in a survey of our recent graduate members and there are plansfor an event in October. Recent graduates are prominent in our strategic plan. We held our third successful (and largest) Research and Evidence Based Practice Conference atLeu Gardens in Orlando. Our goal is to continue to grow this event.3

2018 Florida Nurses AssociationMessage from the SecretaryBarbara Russell, RNSecretaryI am pleased and honored to serve as the FNA Secretary. Other than my other secretarial duties, I wasalso appointed as a Board representative to the PAC and serve as Secretary there. I have attended all boardmeetings and recorded and submitted the minutes as required. I continue to be involved in the leadership ofthe South Region.I am also happy to provide education via presentations, webinars and articles as a contribution to myprofessional organization.I thank you for the opportunity to serve.Message from the TreasurerAnn-Lynn DenkerTreasurerOur major source of revenue is from Membership and it is true that membership organizations in the U.S.are struggling with retention and acquisition of new members. We have sought several non-dues revenuestreams in the past, which you can see, in our Partners section of the FNA Website. Currently, we do receiveroyalties from the Commerce Bank Credit Card, One Main Financial Loan Company, YourMembership CareerCenter, and Mercer Consumer (Formerly Marsh) Liability insurance. Other sources of revenue are continuingeducation programs and publications. These sources of revenue have diminished over time due to changes inthe market as well as laws and rules restricting marketing of these programs. Changes in credit acquisitionalso decreased the revenues we were receiving from these sources. Development funds once available fromANA are no longer offered so we are challenged to find new sources of revenue to avoid increasing dues.The FNA Strategic Plan you are hearing so much about, is addressing revenue streams as part of the futurework of the association. It is important to stress that we will need the help and support of the members tocreate successful programming and to recruit new members. We will be developing tools and talking pointsto support members in strengthening the association.There are discussions at ANA around a Dues Pricing Pilot they are conducting which consists of a level ofmembership that is less costly. This pilot has been successful in several states and the FNA Board will beweighing the possibility of signing on this model if it passed at the 2019 ANA Membership Assembly. Thesuccess of this plan hinges on a level of premier membership that provides greater services and the currentrate and then an “associate” rate, which will provide fewer benefits. This is being explored through severaltask forces at the ANA level. FNA Executive Director Willa Fuller serves on the Task Force and severalsubgroups to make sure FNA’s interests are being addressed.The Board has laid the Foundation for creating other revenue generating strategies including upgrading ourmembership platform to create and easier join, greater engagement and involvement by members.Financially, we have used our financial reserves in the past few years to meet expenses but have come to aplace where we feel it is time to take further action. We are also addressing this via the Strategic Plan as wellas an organizational assessment by a consulting firm. We did manage to balance the budget in 2017 by usingfunds that were unused by the Regions and Special Interest Groups. We have decreased expenses through astaff reduction and other budget cuts for this year. As an FNA member, you may request an audited financialstatement for this year by emailing FNA Executive Director Willa Fuller who will be happy to email it to you.We look forward to your support in our future endeavors for FNA’s continued success.9

2018 Florida Nurses AssociationFocus on the FNA RegionsFNA was restructured in 2009 from thirty local districtsinto eight regions, led by region directors. One of theinitial actions of FNA Board in November 2015 was tofocus on region development to address Goals #1 and#6. Each elected region director has the authority toidentify needs and create services that fit the region’sgeographical uniqueness.The commonality across regions is the desire to buildmembership through face-to-face networking andcontinuing education. Nurses submit abstracts andpresent poster presentations and research/evidencebased practice projects at the regional gatherings. Inthis way, FNA is offering a local and convenient venuefor organizations that are on the journey to Magnet designation.Some regions are offering legislative candidate forums,whereby nurses see firsthand what the issues are and thepositions held by those running for state office. Nursesare encouraged to attend local delegation meetings andlegislative events close to home.Some regions offer special events during Nurses Week (May 6-12 each year). It is not unusual to have soldout social and promotional events with professional ball teams, such as the Tampa Bay Rays, OrlandoCity Soccer Club, and Miami Marlins. This year the Northwest Region added an event in conjunctionwith the Blue Wahoos in Pensacola. While FNA’s core mission is advocacy and education, it is alsoimportant to provide a well-rounded offering of activities that contribute to the well-being and self-careof nurses.An on-going activity direction in each region is identifying and supporting nurses who have thepotential to become leaders within FNA as well as within their healthcare communities. Each regionwelcomes the involvement of new members.RegionsNorthwest RegionJill Vanderlike, Director2018 Advocacy Days at the Florida StateCapitol: attended with eight StudentNurses Association (SNA) members as SNAAdvisor from the University of West Florida(UWF)11
