American Association for Men in Nursing

What American Association for Men in Nursing does

The American Association for Men in Nursing (AAMN) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit professional association founded in 1971 to support men in the nursing profession. Headquartered in Anthem, Arizona, AAMN operates as the only national organization dedicated specifically to men in nursing, providing membership services, education, research, advocacy, and chapter-based networking. The organization serves registered nurses, advanced practice registered nurses, nursing students, LPNs/LVNs, and healthcare employers through multiple membership tiers and institutional packages.

AAMN generates revenue primarily through membership dues, with individual memberships ranging from $15 (high school students) to $210 (two-year full RN) and institutional school packages ranging from $500 to $2,000. Additional revenue comes from Canadian memberships, annual conference fees, merchandise sales, and donations to the AAMN Foundation, which funds scholarships and the Society of Luther Christman Fellows. The organization's product portfolio extends beyond memberships to include continuing education events, learning modules, an annual conference, a career center job board, awards programs (IDEA Award, DAISY Health Equity Award, Best Schools Recognition, Best Workplaces Recognition), and Future RN Teaching Materials. Distribution occurs through a self-service online portal (Wild Apricot platform), a grassroots network of local chapters, and partnership channels with institutions such as ANCC, Chamberlain University, Walden University, Excelsior College, Capella University, MurseWorld, and the National Student Nurses Association.

The organization is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors composed of nursing academics and practitioners from institutions including University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, University of Alabama at Birmingham, UT Southwestern Medical Center, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and Rush University. AAMN does not develop proprietary technology products and operates without traditional ownership or external investment, instead relying on membership dues and donor contributions to fund its programs.

Direct peers

• American Association of Critical-Care Nurses: A specialty nursing association serving critical-care RNs with membership, CE, certification, and conferences. Highly comparable operating model (dues, chapters, awards, scholarships) to AAMN but specialized by clinical area rather than by demographic.
• Sigma (Sigma Theta Tau International): The international nursing honor society, offering membership, scholarships, and leadership programming. Comparable as a credentialed nursing membership organization with scholarship, awards, and conference programming that overlaps AAMN's portfolio.
• National League for Nursing: A national nursing organization focused on nursing education, faculty development, and schools of nursing. Comparable to AAMN's educator-facing programming and Best Schools Recognition, and a potential partner/competitor for academic engagement.
• National Black Nurses Association: A national nursing association advancing diversity and representation in the profession. Closest analog to AAMN in mission (underrepresented demographic in nursing), chapter structure, scholarships, and advocacy, making it a direct peer despite focusing on a different demographic.
• Philippine Nurses Association of America: A US-based national nursing association organized around a specific demographic community of nurses. Highly comparable in mission, chapter structure, conferences, and member benefits, mirroring AAMN's community-led approach for a different demographic cohort.
• American Academy of Nursing: An invitational nursing leadership organization with Fellowship (FAAN) recognition. Comparable as an honorific, member-driven nursing body, though AAMN's Luther Christman Fellows program parallels AAN's Fellowship track at a smaller scale.
• National Student Nurses Association: The preeminent national association for nursing students in the US, mirroring AAMN's pipeline-development function. AAMN already partners with NSNA via the Partnership Program ($25 NSNA student rate), making it both a peer and a distribution channel.

Regional players

• Canadian Nurses Association: The national professional association for nurses in Canada. AAMN already has a Canadian membership category, making CNA the natural geographic counterpart and potential partner/competitor for Canadian members.
• Royal College of Nursing: The UK's national nursing professional association and trade union. Comparable as a large national nursing membership body providing CE, advocacy, and member benefits, but operating in a different geography.

Broad incumbents

• American Nurses Association: The largest US nursing professional association, representing all registered nurses regardless of specialty. Comparable as a national nursing membership body, but materially larger in scope, budget, and policy influence; operates broadly rather than focusing on men in nursing.
