ANNA serves its members through a national structure of over 80 local chapters. Chapters are the foundation of ANNA, making Association services locally available to members. By joining an ANNA chapter, members can promote their professional growth, advance nephrology nursing practice, and positively influence patient outcomes.

Chapter Activities

Chapters provide ANNA members with readily accessible educational programs as well as an effective means to provide input into national issues. Chapters circulate important news and views of their members to the National Office, provide ANNA with essential information to effectively plan programming and influence the decision making of the Association, and enhance ANNA's reputation by communicating and collaborating with other nephrology organizations through workshops and special programs.
