• Pennsylvania State Nurses Association: ANA state constituent providing professional advocacy, CE, and convention programming for Pennsylvania nurses. Comparable member-based professional association model to MNA.
• Florida Nurses Association: ANA-affiliated state nursing association offering membership, CE accreditation, advocacy, and annual events for Florida RNs. Directly comparable scale and service portfolio to MNA.
• ANA-New York: Another state-level constituent of ANA providing professional development, advocacy, and continuing education for New York RNs. Closely comparable structure, mission, and revenue model to MNA as a fellow state nurses association.
