Michigan 2019 Annual Report

2019 ANNUAL BOOK OF REPORTS
positions! In 2019, ANA-Michigan was featured by ANA and highlighted both our Enhanced Nurse
Licensure Compact and Staff Nursing Staffing to Improve Quality of Care.
On March 1, 2017 the association became a part of a membership pilot with ANA called the “Value
Pricing Pilot.” Membership growth since then is at 86.6%. Yes – 86.6% growth since March 1, 2017! We
ended December 2019 with 2,633 members. ANA-Michigan is seeing a 2.8% average monthly growth
in membership. In 2019, the association had a 11.2% growth rate. The average rate for all the states
who are participating in the “Value Pricing Pilot” was at 9.1% growth in 2019.
ANA-Michigan leads ANA out of all states in membership growth. Below is a list of all the top 8 states
in terms of membership growth who are participating in the pilot.
1. Michigan: 86.6%
2. New Jersey: 75%
3. Idaho: 72.8%
4. Illinois: 70.1%
5. California: 60.5%
6. Missouri: 60.4%
7. Maryland: 55.3%
8. Iowa: 54.9%
During our Membership Assembly in 2020, one of the proposed bylaw amendments is to support that
the pilot be no longer a pilot, instead becoming the official membership structure for the association.
This structure has been extremely successful, and I encourage the membership to support making
this change.
It’s an amazing time to be a nurse in Michigan, and even bigger and better things are on the horizon.
Thank you for continuing to support ANA-Michigan and the nursing profession.
“It is one thing to have been educated and licensed as an RN, another to be employed as an
RN, but the mark of a real professional is a love for – and interest in – what is happening to the
profession, and a commitment to help it. Without taking this third step, without identification
as a member of the professional nursing organization, many nurses are merely draining the
good from the profession without adding their share to keep it strong and dynamic.”
