American Nurses Association (ANA) President Ernest Grant, PhD, RN, FAAN, posted an open letter to ANA members on Sept. 15.
As you are probably aware by now, the ANA Board of Directors recently made the decision to uphold the 2019 Membership Assembly vote that rescinded the 1985 Presidential Endorsement Process and replaced it with a Presidential Engagement Policy. Whether to uphold the will of ANA’s highest governing body, which voted overwhelmingly to end the endorsement process, or endorse a presidential candidate in this year’s election, was one of the most important and toughest decisions this board has made.
