​AANA Foundation State Advocates

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.

If your state is not listed below, please consider becoming an Advocate and contact the Foundation at (847) 655-1170 for more information. Click here for more Advocate qualifications and duties.
