The focus on quality was meant to make the link between factors that impact nurses and the quality of both education and healthcare delivery. As “the most trusted profession” we will address these critical concerns.

As climate change effects become more evident, we as nurses need to be aware of emerging health issues that can impact our patients and our population.

In addition, as the most trusted profession, we can advocate for practices that will help protect the planet and even prevent some of these disease impacts.

This presentation explores minority stress, stigma, and how the shift in the socio-politico-legal climate since 2016 has affected LGBTQ+ persons with a specific focus on cervical cancer screening disparities.

2023 FNA MEMBERSHIP ASSEMBLY www.floridanurse.org/MA23

Reference Proposals: What Issues Matter to YOU? Constituent groups as well as individual members of FNA have the opportunity to voice their concerns or express their thoughts on matters of significance to nursing, nurses, and health needs of the public through the formation of Reference Proposals.

What starts out as one member’s idea or concern may become an official position of the Florida Nurses Association. Reference Proposals help drive future activities of the association. For example, a proposal submitted in 2022 led to an FNAsupported bill in the Florida Legislature for the requirement of surgical smoke evacuation devices in surgical centers/facilities.

The Reference Committee is now accepting proposals for the 2023 Membership Assembly. All proposals are due by August 1, 2023. To view submission guidelines and see past proposals go to www.floridanurse.org/MA2023.

Proposed Bylaws Changes

The FNA Bylaws committee has reviewed proposed changes to the FNA Bylaws and made their recommendations. Members will receive an emailed copy of the proposed changes and will be able to access a copy through the Membership Assembly webpage at www.floridanurse.org/MA23BusinessMeeting.

The nursing workforce boasts incredible leaders in all areas of healthcare, administration, and academia. It is important that we recognize these leaders as a testament to the efforts they drive.

FNA Business Meeting

The Annual Business Meeting is where the Florida Nurses Association conducts the official business of the association. It is an opportunity for members to hear and vote on proposed bylaws amendments, reference proposals, and other important aspects of the association. During election years, it is the place where the newly elected Board of Directors is sworn in.

It should be emphasized that the highest voice of authority of the Association is the Membership Assembly which consists of members in good standing in attendance in accordance with FNA Bylaws. Membership of attendees will be validated at registration and onsite for a quorum to be established.

The order of business of the House will include reports from the Board of Directors, staff, and structural units; amendments to the Bylaws; and adoption of official positions (reference proposals). On the odd number years, elections are held with the results announced during the Membership Assembly. All members in good standing (in accordance with FNA bylaws) and Board of Directors have the privilege of voting. All members have the right to submit proposals to the Reference Committee for consideration by Membership Assembly for official action.

Registration and Member Rebates
