MESSAGE from the INF PRESIDENT<br />
INF Board Extends Term as We Strategize for a Stronger <strong>2022</strong> and Beyond<br />
Jo May, DNP, RN, RN-BC<br />
President <strong>Indiana</strong> Nurses Foundation<br />
As we look back on 2021, the <strong>Indiana</strong> Nurses<br />
Foundation appreciates your generosity and your<br />
compassion. Donations made to the INF bring hope to<br />
nurses through certification achievement, professional<br />
development, and grants to improve health for Hoosiers. A<br />
big change in 2021 included the addition of contribution<br />
designation. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and<br />
with your request, the INF has responded by launching<br />
the Nurses in Need Fund. We are grateful for our generous<br />
donors’ support, serving fellow colleagues financially but<br />
most importantly hope at a time when we all need it the<br />
most. Here is a break down of 2021 Program Designation:<br />
the INF Bylaws would end in <strong>February</strong> after 24 months of service, however we<br />
did not conclude our strategic planning for future work of the INF. We are still<br />
in process of planning to be stronger and positioned to give back even more in<br />
<strong>2022</strong>. Have you thought about your board seat on the Foundation board? Please<br />
follow us through the ISNA social media channels to learn of upcoming board<br />
opportunities.<br />
If every member of ISNA contributed just $22 in <strong>2022</strong> to help build the<br />
legacy of <strong>Indiana</strong> Nursing through the <strong>Indiana</strong> Nurse Foundation we could give<br />
approximately $54,000 in the future! Donate today through our Text to Donate –<br />
Text ‘Nurses” to 74121, Honor a Nurse by recognizing a nurse in the next <strong>Bulletin</strong><br />
with a donation made in their name, or share a general donation through our<br />
<strong>Indiana</strong>Nurses.NursingNetwork.com website.<br />
We look forward to sharing more INF highlights, recognition, and successes this<br />
year!<br />
