MISSISSIPPI NURSES ASSOCIATION

What MISSISSIPPI NURSES ASSOCIATION does

Mississippi Nurses Association (MNA) is a private nonprofit professional nursing association headquartered at 31 Woodgreen Place in Madison, Mississippi, operating with 7 employees. It functions as the official state affiliate of the American Nurses Association (ANA) and serves as the recognized voice of registered nurses in Mississippi, delivering advocacy, continuing professional development, networking, and career services to its membership across the state.

MNA's core product surface consists of five pillars: (1) a member portal (members.msnurses.org) hosted on a third-party MemberMax platform that delivers CE surveys, certificates, event registration, and invoice payment; (2) accredited continuing professional development, with CE presentations and certificates issued under the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation; (3) annual conferences and events such as the Conference on Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias and the Maternal and Infant Health Conference; (4) the MSNA Career Center (careers.msnurses.org), a job board for nurses and healthcare employers; and (5) nursing education scholarships administered through the affiliated Mississippi Nurses Foundation. Membership is segmented into RN, APRN, and Premier tiers billed annually, with an ANA-aligned dues escalator effective January 1, 2025. The organization pursues a horizontal segmentation approach and reaches members through its website, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, email, and direct outreach.

The business model is membership-fee-driven subscription revenue, augmented by conference sponsorships, exhibitor fees, Career Center employer postings, and continuing education ancillary services. There is no disclosed headcount outside the 7 staff, no parent company, no private equity or venture backing, and no subsidiaries. Governance is anchored in MNA Bylaws and Resolutions, and the organization maintains working relationships with the Mississippi Board of Nursing, Mississippi State Department of Health, Mississippi Hospital Association, the University of Mississippi Medical Center, AANP, the CDC, and the Organization of Nurse Executives. The entity is governed by Mississippi law with no publicly disclosed financial statements in the source data.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• American Nurses Association (ANA): The national parent affiliate of MNA and all state nurses associations. ANA sits above MNA in the federation structure and sets national policy, dues escalator methodology, and overarching advocacy direction that MNA implements at the state level — making it the dominant incumbent in MNA's space.

Emerging players

• National League for Nursing: A national nursing organization focused on nurse educator development and the nursing education pipeline. It is adjacent to MNA's mission around nursing workforce development and competes for institutional and educator mindshare within the broader nursing profession.
• American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP): The largest national membership organization for nurse practitioners (an APRN segment MNA also serves). AANP competes for APRN dues dollars and represents an alternative national advocacy home for the same advanced-practice nurses MNA targets.
• Sigma Theta Tau International (Sigma Nursing): The international honor society for nursing, with a Mississippi-based chapter network. It overlaps with MNA's continuing education, scholarship, and recognition programming, representing a competing member-benefit offering for Mississippi nurses.

Direct peers

• Alabama State Nurses Association: The Alabama state affiliate of the ANA, operating the same state-level professional association model as MNA for a neighboring Southeastern nursing workforce. It offers ANCC-accredited CE, advocacy, and a member portal, providing a direct geographic and structural benchmark for MNA.
• Tennessee Nurses Association: Tennessee's state nurses association, an ANA affiliate operating with a similar professional association model covering CE, advocacy, and member services for RNs and APRNs in a neighboring state. It is a comparable peer for dues, programming, and member value benchmarking.
• Louisiana State Nurses Association: The Louisiana state affiliate of the American Nurses Association, structurally identical to MNA in serving nurses in a single Gulf South state. It provides the same model of ANCC-accredited CE, advocacy, and member services, making it a directly comparable peer for membership and engagement benchmarks.

Regional players

• Mississippi Board of Nursing: Mississippi's state regulatory body for nursing licensure, with which MNA partners closely on regulatory and advocacy matters. While not a commercial peer, it shapes the regulatory and licensure environment in which MNA's CE and advocacy programs operate.
• University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) School of Nursing: Mississippi's flagship academic nursing program and a major MNA partner (e.g., the Alzheimer's conference). It represents the academic and pipeline side of the same Mississippi nursing ecosystem in which MNA operates.

Others

• Mississippi Hospital Association: A major MNA partner organization representing Mississippi hospitals. While not a direct competitor (it serves institutions, not individual nurses), it is an ecosystem participant with overlapping advocacy interests in nursing workforce policy in Mississippi.
