Of the many issues, these two are central: supporting nurses in practice; and increasing the
number of nurses entering the profession. As a retired nurse, these are areas where I can
help. The newly established ANA-MI Nurses Foundation’s mission speaks to these two issues.
Having had the opportunity to be a part of the team that is working to actualize the work of
the Foundation, I would like continue that work.
Please include any other additional comments you would like to add.
I have had the priviledge this past year to work with a tremendous group of nurse leaders
and ANA-MI staff to create the structure for the recently established ANA-MI Nurses
Foundation. I would like to continue to be a part of Board of Directors as that work continues
and fund raising continues to be able to actualize the goals identified for our first year of
operation.
