ROSEMONT, Ill., July 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Association of
Nurse Anesthesiology (AANA) has been recognized with a Power of
Associations Silver Award by the American Society of Association
Executives (ASAE) for its successful initiative, 'Advocacy from the
Start'.
"As the leading organization representing CRNAs, also known as
nurse anesthesiologists or nurse anesthetists, AANA is a determined
advocate on issues that impact the profession of nurse
anesthesiology, the patients our members serve, and the collective
voices of our community and workforce," said AANA CEO Bill Bruce, MBA, CAE. "AANA's 'Advocacy from the
Start' campaign illustrates the commitment of the association
to our mission. We are honored to be recognized by ASAE."
AANA recognizes that to further its mission to advance, support,
and protect nurse anesthesiology, all members, --Certified
Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs), also known as nurse
anesthesiologists or nurse anesthetists, and Resident Registered
Nurse Anesthetists (RRNAs) enrolled in nurse anesthesia programs--
must play a part. Effective advocacy requires engagement from
members at all points in their career.
To address this, AANA Advocacy Staff created the 'Advocacy from
the Start' program. The goal of the 'Advocacy from the Start'
program is to motivate AANA's newest members to become active
advocates and in turn, encourage RRNAs to continue their advocacy
efforts as CRNAs, increase general membership engagement in AANA,
and facilitate a pipeline of future AANA leaders.
"Congratulations to AANA for exemplifying the impact
associations have on the industries and professions they represent,
and on society at large," said ASAE President and CEO Michelle Mason, FASAE, CAE. "It's always so
incredibly satisfying to see associations going above and beyond
their everyday mission to change the world. We're very proud to
spotlight this award-winning initiative."
ASAE's Power of Associations Award recognizes the associations'
economic and societal contributions locally, nationally and
globally. ASAE will celebrate The Power of Associations Award
winners during its annual Summit Awards Dinner on Tuesday, September 24, 2024, at the National
Building Museum in Washington,
DC.
