Good governance is proactive, not reactive, and a potential bylaw change could help the AANA move more in that direction. In this episode of Beyond the Mask, Jeremy and Sharon welcome AANA vice president Tracy Young, MSNA, MBA, CRNA to discuss one of the most important proposals facing the AANA: a new bylaw amendment that would establish a clear, fair process for removing a board member before a crisis demands it. We'll walk through what the amendment proposes, the rationale behind it, and the potential implications for the AANA moving forward. Here’s some of what you’ll hear in this episode: 📜 Why the AANA needs a removal process for board members 🛑 Current fallback is a public, divisive member vote 🗳️ Proposed policy includes due process and confidentiality ⚖️ Grounds for removal: misconduct, nonperformance, conflict of interest 🧠 Why a strong board culture—and not just bylaws—matters most Will you be among the Congress attendees tackling some of today's most urgent challenges in nurse anesthesiology?
