The Florida Nurses Association invites all members to the 2025 FNA Membership Assembly, scheduled for September 24–26, 2025, at the Hilton St. Petersburg Carillon Park.
This year’s theme, Elevating Nursing: Innovation in a Digital Age, focuses on the integration of technology and innovation in nursing practice. As healthcare rapidly evolves, nurses must be prepared to embrace new technologies while navigating the ethical and practical challenges they bring.

Preparing for the Annual Business Meeting
The Annual Business Meeting provides FNA members the opportunity to actively engage in the governance of the association. Members can vote on recommended bylaws changes and proposed positions, as well as submit their own recommendations before the meeting. The Business Meeting will be held on the final day of Membership Assembly, September 26.
Reference Proposals: The Reference Committee is accepting proposals through August 1 for consideration at the Membership Assembly. Reference proposals are essential in shaping FNA’s initiatives. A proposal should outline a nursing issue and recommend specific actions for FNA to take. Generally, a proposal includes: Statement of Concern, Rationale, Statement of Proposed Position, and Recommendations for Action. All Reference Proposals will be reviewed, discussed, and may be revised during the Membership Assembly before being considered for adoption.
Bylaws Changes: All FNA members are given the opportunity each year to submit proposed changes to the bylaws. The Bylaws Committee reviews all submissions, selects proposals to move forward, and presents them to the Assembly for discussion and voting. During the Annual Business Meeting, members will review and vote on the proposed changes that were submitted earlier in the year.
