AANA Foundation State Advocates are individuals that represent, support, and promote the efforts and activities of the AANA Foundation at the state level both philosophically and financially.
These volunteers present informational and educational materials to their state members at state meetings and act as liaisons between AANA Foundation staff and Board of Trustees and their state association. The Foundation greatly appreciates the efforts of these individuals.
