Business Meeting

About the Business Meeting

Saturday, September 24 | 9:00am - 12:30pm*

The Annual Business Meeting is where the Florida Nurses Association conducts the official business of the association. It is an opportunity for members to hear and vote on proposed bylaws amendments, reference proposals, and other important aspects of the association. During election years, it is the place where the newly elected Board of Directors is sworn in.

It should be emphasized that the highest voice of authority of the Association is the Membership Assembly which consists of members in good standing and in attendance in accordance with FNA Bylaws. The official business of the Association is conducted during the Business Meeting. Membership of attendees will be validated at registration and onsite for a quorum to be established.

The order of business of the House will include reports from the Board of Directors, staff, and structural units; amendments to the Bylaws; and adoption of official positions. On the odd number years, elections are held with the results announced during the Membership Assembly. All members in good standing (in accordance with FNA bylaws) and Board of Directors have the privilege of voting. All members have the right to submit proposals to the Reference Committee for consideration by Membership Assembly for official action.
