NEW: Earn Points for Getting Involved with ANA-NY!

We’re excited to launch the ANA-NY Member Points Program, a new way to recognize and reward members for staying active, connected, and committed to nursing excellence.

Each time you engage with ANA-NY—whether you’re attending an event, serving on a committee, or submitting to our publications—you earn points. At the end of the year, the member with the most points wins a special prize!

Here’s how you can earn points:

  • Create a profile in the app directory – 2 points

  • Participate in a committee – 2 points

  • Belong to the Board of Directors – 6 points

  • Attend an event or the Annual Conference – 1 point each

  • Join a Special Interest Group (SIG) – 2 points

  • Run for a position – 5 points

  • Serve as a committee chair – 4 points

  • Submit content to the ANA-NY magazine – 4 points

  • Nominate a colleague for an ANA-NY award – 4 points

  • Present the FNL award – 4 points

  • Vote in ANA-NY elections – 3 points

  • Submit an abstract for the conference – 3 points

  • Become a Peer Reviewer for JANANY – 6 points

  • Submit a manuscript to JANANY – 5 points

How it works:

  • Points are calculated at the end of each month
  • Your total is updated in your member profile in the ANA-NY app at the beginning of the following month
  • The member with the highest point total at the end of the year wins!
