New Editors Discussion

How it has worked for over 30 years

“Non”-organization No officers, no elections, no dues! Want to do it? No problem - just do it! Decision-making is open & fluid - mostly at

conferences, but now integrates as much virtual involvement as possible (polls, surveys, etc.)

Financial demands (other than conference expenses) are minimal - covered by “pass the hat” events every 2 to 3 years

Types of Initiatives INANE Members Have Undertaken

2004 - “Leading the charge” to get nursing journals indexed and receive Impact Factors - Margaret Freda and Judy Lewis

2010 - Two INANE members elected to the COPE Council

2011 - “Future of Nursing” editorials 2014 - Student papers survey and report - Shawn
