healthcare planning, and safe staffing. To emphasize and personalize the issues, we were able to share stories that we or our colleagues back home in Iowa have experienced. This was especially appreciated by our legislative leaders. I am honored and privileged to have served as your President the past 3½ years and am assured that Lisa Caffery, President-Elect, will be an outstanding leader for this organization. The staff lead by Tobi Lyon Moore, Executive Director, have been wonderful to work with and will continue to help our organization continue its mission, “To connect, advocate, and support for nurses and healthcare in Iowa.” 20 2019 INA CONFERENCE & ANNUAL MEETING
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT Tobi Lyon Moore, MBA, CAE, CFRE “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” – Margaret Mead 2019 was a year that brought a few changes and new additions to INA. The INA Board approved a new vision statement that better articulates our future: “Together, we promote the growth of the profession, guide nursing practice, and monitor current issues in nursing. Our strength is to stay engaged, by advocating for and connecting with Iowa nurses in the diverse, dynamic health care environment.” Tobi Lyon Moore, MBA, CAE, CFRE On March 1, 2017, the association launched a new membership structure with ANA. Membership growth... is at 47.7%. Yes, 47.7% growth in just two years! We ended September 2019 with 1298 members. INA is seeing a 2.6% average monthly growth in membership in 2019. Whereas, in 2018, we saw an average of 1.6%. We are making great progress. New services in 2019 include launching an online Legislative Action Center. The Legislative Action Center is a platform to allow our public policy committee and membership to track legislation and keep our membership updated on INA positions with certain legislation. The other benefit is that we can track when a member has clicked on an email, visited our page, or taken any action. As we advance our level of advocacy within the Association, this service will be able very beneficial. In addition, INA partnered with NSO to bring professional liability insurance to Iowa Nurses. For over 40 years, Nurses Service Organization (NSO) has been helping defend RNs, nurse practitioners, LPN/LVNs, CNSs, nursing aids and student nurses from medical malpractice lawsuits. Over 550,000 nursing professionals safeguard their careers with professional liability insurance through NSO. INA continues to look for ways to grow membership and retain the members we have. Thank you to all the INA members for knowing the importance of your membership, and the hard work that you put into this organization. Most of all, thank you for your dedication to the profession. With every member being engaged and active, INA will be able to maximize our progress and work together for success in the profession. I encourage all members to share their views as to why you are a member and to remain involved in INA. THE IMPACT OF CHANGE IN NURSING 21
