2014 AANN ANNUAL REPORT
2014 AANN ANNUAL REPORT Presented jointly with the American Board of Neuroscience Nursing and the Agnes Marshall Walker Foundation 2014 BOARD OF DIRECTORS The American Association of Neuroscience Nurses (AANN), the American Board of Neuroscience Nursing (ABNN), and the Agnes Marshall Walker Foundation (AMWF) present the 2014 AANN Annual Report. This report highlights our accomplishments after the 2014 Annual Meeting through the 2015 Annual Meeting and looks at our goals for the duration of 2015. This past year we continued to drive toward our goal PRESIDENT Megan Keiser, DNP RN ACNS-BC CNRN NP-C PRESIDENT-ELECT Janice L.

The 2015 AANN Annual Meeting theme, Enlighten, Engage, Empower, has been a driving force for our work in the year leading up to the meeting. We challenged our members to enlighten themselves with our educational products, such as the new AANN Comprehensive Review for Stroke Nursing book, and by participating in our Annual Meeting. We invited them to engage with our organization through committees and chapters. Additionally, AANN received unprecedented requests to engage with other nursing and medical organizations, demonstrating that we are the leading authority in neuroscience nursing. We encouraged members to empower themselves with knowledge and to carry the message back to their practice settings. AANN strives to enlighten our members through education, provide networking opportunities to engage with fellow neuroscience nurses, and empower our members to share their neuroscience expertise. Our success goes hand in hand with the continued advancement of neuroscience nursing as a whole, and our members are SECRETARY/TREASURER Michelle Van Demark, MSN RN CNRN DIRECTORS AT LARGE Patricia Lane, MBA BSN RN Missy Moreda, BSN RN CCRN CNRN SCRN Millie Hepburn, MPhil MSN RN ACNS-BC SCRN Twyila Lay, MS ACNP-BC ANP-BC Lindsey Siewert, MSN APRN CCNS CCRN Mona Stecker, DNP CNRN NP-BC EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Joan Kram, MBA RN FACHE the driving force.

Last year, AANN made great progress toward our financial goals. At the end of 2014, we were in good financial standing with 5.6 months of expenses in reserve. Operating revenue for the year totaled $1,743,413, with the membership and annual meeting revenues nearly tied as the greatest revenue generators for the association. Operating expenses for the year totaled $1,654,041. A continued focus on increasing operating revenue and adding non-dues revenue sources will contribute to AANN’s financial success.
