Elected officials rely on staff, outside expertise and constituent input to effectively represent the people of their district or state.</p> <p>An ongoing dialogue with your elected officials is the best way to ensure they understand how their decisions will impact their constituents back home. No one can better explain the complexities of health care delivery and the impact policy changes would have on your organization鈥檚 ability to continue delivering care than people like you on the front line.</p> <p>It is important to build a relationship with your legislators not just contact them when legislation is pending.</p> Thu, 11 Jul 2019 11:18:02 -0500 Communications <div class="col-lg-8"><div id="block-breadcrumbs"><nav aria-labelledby="system-breadcrumb" role="navigation"><h2 class="visually-hidden" id="system-breadcrumb">Breadcrumb</h2><ol class="breadcrumb"><li><a href="/"><em><i class="fa fa-home"><span class="sr-only">Home</span></i></em></a></li><li><a href="/news/">News</a></li><li><a href="/news/voice-of-nursing-leadership">Voice of Nursing Leadership</a></li></ol></nav></div></div><div class="col-lg-4"><div class="text-align-right addthis_inline_share_toolbox"> </div></div> Tue, 15 Jan 2019 00:00:00 -0600 Communications /about/president Fri, 04 Jan 2019 00:00:00 -0600 Communications /about/media-center <p><span lang="EN">兔子先生provides members of the media outlets with easy access to news and events, and press releases.</span></p><h3>Press Releases</h3><p><a href="/press-release">Find media releases</a> and statements regarding AONL events and statements.</p>AONL at a Glance</h3> <p><a href="/sites/default/files/aone/AONE%20One%20Pager%20doc2.pdf">Learn about the history of AONL</a> and how we have provided leadership, professional development and advocacy for nurse leaders around the world.</p>--><h3>Leadership Team</h3><p>Learn everything you need to know about AONL Leadership team:</p><ul><li><a href="/about/president">Deborah Zimmermann, president</a></li><li><a href="/system/files/media/file/2025/01/Ena-Williams-AONL-Bio.pdf">Ena Williams, president elect</a></li><li><a href="/system/files/media/file/2025/01/Claire-Zangerle-AONL-Bio.pdf">Claire Zangerle, Chief Executive Officer, AONL, Chief Nursing Officer, SVP, AHA</a></li><li><a href="/about/chief-executive-officer">Robyn Begley, 兔子先生CEO Emeritus</a></li></ul><h3>Nursing Leadership Awards</h3><p>AONL offers awards for members and non-member nurse executives.
