<strong>2019</strong> <strong>Florida</strong> <strong>Nurses</strong> <strong>Association</strong><br />
Membership Assembly<br />
September 29-30, 2017<br />
Rosen Shingle Creek<br />
Orlando, <strong>Florida</strong><br />
This year the Annual Meeting was dealt a challenge when Hurricane Irma necessitated a move from the Naples<br />
Grand Beach Resort to Rosen Shingle Creek Resort in Orlando. The conference began with an informational<br />
keynote based on the theme by Dr. Susan Hassmiller of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Our innovative<br />
plenary session was conducted in the style of a World Café format led by FNA President Dr. Leah Kinnaird.<br />
Several topics were offered for consideration and members were given the option to select topics of interest to<br />
them. Three topics emerged: Human Trafficking, Mentoring and Safe Work Environment. Members discussed<br />
each topic at designated tables and made notes and diagrammed the discussion on pages that were provided<br />
for them. The notes were then gathered to use to direct future work of the association.<br />
Two position statements were approved after vigorous discussion by the Assembly, one on Artificial Intelligence<br />
and Robotics in Healthcare and another reaffirming FNA’s commitment to protecting the title “Nurse.” As<br />
evidenced by the evaluations, multiple high- quality continuing education sessions were enjoyed by the<br />
members, our Peer Recognition Awards were presented and the 2017-<strong>2019</strong> Board of Directors was announced.<br />
We also reaffirmed the <strong>Association</strong> Goals and priorities as found in this document.<br />
