The Advocate of the Year Award is presented to an AANA Foundation advocate or supporter for outstanding commitment to the nurse anesthesia profession through individually supporting the AANA Foundation and encouraging others to do the same, or advocating for the profession in a magnanimous way. The Advocate of the Year Award is named in honor of Dr. Lorraine M. Jordan, Foundation CEO from 1987 to 2024. Lorraine is passionate about advocacy on behalf of nurse anesthesiology and was instrumental in creating this award to recognize those that go above and beyond to promote the profession and the Foundation’s mission of advancing the science of anesthesia through education and research. Lorraine is an accomplished leader, mentor, advocate, and friend to many AANA members and the nurse anesthesiology community.
