Stakeholders Report
From the ANA President
Dear Colleagues:
It’s an exciting time in history for the American Nurses Association. I am very proud to represent you. This annual report gives you the opportunity to look back at 2006 and the many achievements of the ANA and our 54 constituent member associations. If you are already familiar with us, you may know the ANA has strategic imperatives that defi ne the organization’s vision. It’s interesting to look at these imperatives because they represent the areas in which ANA works for you.

It also underscores our cornerstone work, specifi cally what we do to increase patient safety in the arena of ethics and nursing standards.
