A Group of Very Concerned ONA Members: Please Identify Yourselves

I am a member of the American Nurses Association and the Ohio Nurses Association. Not because I agree with or support 100% what these organizations do but because its the only way that I can remain a delegate of the Center for American Nurses. I won't bore you with the details but if you want to know more read my posts under professional association news and professional association drama.

As a ONA member I have received copies of correspondence ( 3 letters) this month and last month addressed to Gingy Harshey-Meade, CEO of ONA, the ONA Board of Directors and the E&GW Commission. I ordered a new scanner and I will post this correspondence on my blog sometime this month.

The latest piece of correspondence dated June 20th, references the May 16th correspondence. The group is essentially calling for Gingy's resignation as CEO and demanding an accounting of the UAN mobilization fund monies. See http://www.mnnurses.org/index.asp?Type=B_BASIC&SEC={B8180AA1-EB52-42D2-8ADB-BF1F692B4644} for a nice summary of the issues associated with the ANA, UAN, Center, and State Nursing Associations. You can also search "ANA" on www.allnurses.com.

This is addressed to the Group of Very Concerned ONA Members. Please identify  yourselves. Your correspondence would carry alot more weight and credence if it was signed by this Group of Very Concerned ONA Members.

I am a ONA member and I am very concerned about the future of ONA and the need for workforce advocacy efforts and services for nurses here in Ohio. To be frank, oh I have to watch what I say now.....

I am not a party to the group sending the correspondence to the ONA Board, CEO, and EGW however I am willing to identify myself and state my concerns.

Dear, Group of Very Concerned ONA Members, I too am concerned about the future of ONA.

Dear Group of Very Concerned ONA Members, please identify yourselves because who you are and what you have to say is important.
