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  “Leading the charge” to get nursing journals indexed and receive Impact Factors - Margaret Freda and Judy Lewis  Two INANE members elected to the COPE Council  “Future of Nursing” editorials  Student papers survey and report - Shawn Kennedy and colleagues

2014 Initiative - Predatory Publishing  Collaborative formed at 2014 conference, led by Sally Thorne (Editor, Nursing Inquiry)  Focus: to promote standards of editorial excellence  Editorials published in journals and posted on INANE website  17 editorials and counting!

How conferences happen  Hosting Editor volunteers about 3 to 4 years in advance  Financial arrangements vary  Locations typically discussed at each annual “non”-business meeting  Guiding principle - do it your way! We never fire a conference host!
