PARK RIDGE, Ill. (AANA) — American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology (AANA) has been recognized by the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) with a 2022 Gold Circle Award in the Digital Content category. The Gold Circle Awards competition is the premier association marketing, membership, and communications award program that recognizes excellence, innovation, and achievement in association/nonprofit marketing, membership, and communications campaigns and activities.
This year’s competition received more than 200 entries across 15 categories, including convention/meeting campaigns, member retention campaigns, print magazines, and video.
ASAE recognized AANA for their podcast, “Moving the Needle,” launched in 2021.
Like all medical professionals practicing during the COVID-19 pandemic, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) are experiencing the most disruptive time in the history of healthcare.

The podcast is currently hosted by AANA President Dina Velocci, DNP, CRNA, APRN, and continues to explore advocacy and industry topics.
“As the leading organization representing CRNAs, AANA is committed to shaping the debate on important healthcare issues and ensuring that our members have the latest information and knowledge necessary to deliver quality anesthesia services to their patients,” said Velocci. “’Moving the Needle’ illustrates the commitment of the association to its members and the profession. We are honored to be recognized by ASAE.”
