Dear NACNS Members,

I am pleased to introduce the NACNS 2020Annual Report. We continued to make significantstrides during our fiscal year (July 1, 2019- June 30,2020). Despite the emergence of a pandemic andits dominance of our world, NACNS maintainedfocus on developing and executing two strategicpriorities: 1) Elevate: Increasing the visibility andvalue of the CNS; and 2) Growth: transforming

NACNS into an organization that attracts and engages members. Tosupport these priorities, the charges assigned to NACNS committeeswere tailored to serve as tactics to drive strategy and organizationalprogress. These are more than words and I think you’ll see as youperuse the annual report that this strategic approach provides a clearstory about the connection of our committees’ work and outcomes tothe overall success we experienced during the fiscal year.

Our financial health continues to strengthen, built largely aroundgrowth to conference attendance, stronger membership retention,sponsorships, and cost containment. Indeed, it is my distinct pleasureto announce that our financial health is stronger now than in manyyears. This financial strength puts NACNS in a position to do greatthings on behalf of members. The Board of Directors is committed tofiscal discipline that will ensure NACNS remains in a position to pursuean ambitious agenda while delivering an ever-increasing level of valueto members. NACNS is equipped with the resources to match thecommitment and energy representing the 89,0000 CNSs across theU.S.

During my tenure as your President, I have been fortunate to witnessthe incredible growth within NACNS. This growth stems from theremarkable contributions and outcomes generated by our committeesand their leadership. As the Resurgence of the CNS continues,NACNS positions itself into an outstanding organization that willsupport the CNS community to Rise!

On behalf of the Board of Directors, thank you for your belief inNACNS and your ongoing support.

With you in success,

Unique COVID-19 ResourcesNACNS wanted to provide as much support as possible to all CNSs during the COVID-19pandemic. As such, we compiled unique resources to help educate and connect CNSsacross the country, as well as show our gratitude and emotional support to those whowere called to service as our nation managed the health crisis.

Webinar Series: Conquering Stress in Difficult TimesNACNS partnered with Dr. Brenda Lyon to develop an eight-part WebinarSeries dedicated to helping CNSs conquer stress during this challengingtime.More than 1,000 CNSs viewed the series; many shared them withtheir colleagues.

National Nurses MonthTo honor our nation’s nurses, the American Nurses Association (ANA)decided to extend National Nurses Week to a month-long celebration,and NACNS joined the festivities. Throughout the month, NACNS sent outweekly newsletters and launched a social media campaign to provide ourCNSs with the resources and connections they need. Each week wasdedicated to a different theme: Self-Care, Recognition, ProfessionalDevelopment, and Community Engagement. This campaign resulted inwelcoming 147 new followers across NACNS social media accounts.

#CNSPrideNACNS developed the marketing campaign #CNSPride to ask CNSs toshow their pride and solidarity with the CNS community during theseunprecedented times by sending in a short clip of themselves answeringthe question, why are you proud to be a CNS? We turned the responsesinto montage video to share with CNSs across the country as inspirationand support for all during the COVID-19 pandemic. This video wasviewed 2,047 times.

“When the Masks all Come Off”NACNS member Jennifer Dorman wrote and shared a poem with NACNS as an outlet to express themany feelings triggered by the pandemic while also looking ahead to a brighter future. NACNSpublished her poem as a blog on our website, which received 324 page views. The average timespent on the blog was 5 minutes, which is a significant increase from the 1 minute and 19-secondbenchmark.

ListServ DataIn March 2020, the NACNS Board of Directorsdecided to postpone the transition of the CNSListServ to members only so that all CNS’s across thecountry have a forum to share and retrieveinformation around COVID-19.

• Gained 243 ListServ members in March 2020!

• The ListServ saw an increase in the number ofmessages exchanged during March and April2020, aligning with the beginning of COVID-19.

NACNS Board Member’s PersonalExperience With COVID-19NACNS published a blog where Judy Dusek, DNP,M.Ed., APRN-CNS, CMSRN, ACNS-BC, and NACNSboard member described her bout with COVID-19.This blog received 365 page views, and theaverage time spent on the webpage was 4minutes and 23 seconds – which is over a 200%increase than the typical average time of 1 minuteand 19 seconds spent on an NACNS webpage.
