Report of Professional Activities:
DNA 9 had a busy year. First, at the Annual Membership Meeting on September 30, 2014,
the Membership voted unanimously to adopt the Revised/Proposed 2014 DNA 9 Bylaws. This
completed the process, with Linda Stierle’s (Chair, MNA Committee on Bylaws and Policies)
remarkable guidance, to comply with the revisions made in the ANA and MNA Bylaws. DNA 9
has been strengthened in making these modifications, to grow professionally. An example of
this is the formation of the DNA 9 Nominations Committee; with Catherine Gibson, Chair; Tammy
Kraul and Roy Schreider, Members. Catherine Gibson has since been appointed to Chair of the
MNA Nominations Committee.
