ANNA is proud to support over 80 local chapters! Each chapter is supported by a member of the ANNA Chapter Support Team (ACST), a committee of volunteers and members of ANNA. The composition of the ACST is set forth in the chapter bylaws, and the committee is charged with overseeing the management of the chartered chapters while upholding the mission of ANNA. Our chapters provide local educational programs and community connections and networking to nurses throughout the country, and ANNA members are automatically assigned to their local chapter as a benefit of membership. Our nurses do it all: Plan evening and day-long programs Hold fundraisers Sponsor children to local kidney camps Provide scholarships for continuing education Managing a local chapter is challenging and rewarding in many ways, both personally and professionally. ANNA supports our volunteer chapter officers by providing numerous resources.
