Welcome to New Members
2014 WONE Bylaws Committee Annual Report
Committee Members: Sharon Baughman, Ken Nelson III, and Heidi Bolling
At the 2014 WONE conference in April, a number of changes to the Rules and Regulations were present-ed to the Board and approved. These changes pertained to:• Language was added to match AONE Rules and Regulations on how to conduct resolve a tie in votes
for elections to board positions. Instead of being done with a ballot at the Annual Business Meeting, the election choice will be determined by lot drawn by someone appointment by the President who is not a member of the Nominations Committee.
Also in April 2014, proposed changes to the Bylaws were presented to the members at the Annual Busi-ness Meeting. These changes pertained to:• Removing altogether the articles on the organizational mission and values. The board attempts to
keep these current with AONE mission and values which have changed a few times in recent years. Instead of housing this language in the Bylaws, it is contained in the Strategic Plan and other official documents of WONE.
Updated documents were posted to the website in June.
In late 2014 the committee reconvened for the annual review of organizational documents. Suggested changes were summarized for the Board’s January meeting for discussion and endorsement to proceed to the membership meeting in April.
There was also a discovery that the WONE had not submitted an annual report to the Wisconsin Depart-ment of Financial Institutions (WDFI) following the establishment of the Articles of Incorporation in 1994. This lapse resulted in administrative dissolution. Susan Peterson will pursue actions necessary to rein-state the organization with WDFI and put in place the necessary steps to prevent this in the future.

WHA’s “Integrated Advocacy Strategy Thrives on Partnership
On January 1, I was honored and privileged to become the next President of the Wisconsin Hospital As-sociation. For the past 13 years under Steve Brenton’s exemplary leadership, I have helped craft and implement WHA’s robust lobbying and advocacy efforts, working with WHA’s top-notch staff team and allied organizations, including WONE, to achieve our shared goal – enabling health care providers and health systems to deliver the best quality care for their patients. Wisconsin’s nurse leaders bring valu-able knowledge and insight to the public policy and advocacy arena, and the WONE/WHA partnership is essential to achieving our shared goals.
2015 promises to be another year of tremendous challenges, which we will take on in our purposefully proactive way, including joining with, and leading when called for, our partner/allied organizations to ad-vocate for sound public policy. It is an “integrated advocacy” strategy that reflects the characteristics of WHA’s members, our evolving organization and valuable partnerships.
Here are just two examples of what I’m talking about, and why:
• Medicare/Medicaid Payment Cuts: Given the integrated nature of health care delivery, especially in a state like WI, Medicaid/Medicare reimbursement cuts to hospitals or physicians are not felt by our hospitals and employed physicians alone, they ripple throughout and impact to some degree all com-ponents of Wisconsin’s increasingly aligned health systems. We are truly all in this together.
• Care Accountability: While Medicare readmission penalties are felt financially by the “hospital,” re-ducing avoidable readmissions takes a team of providers and practitioners, aligned toward a common goal. Developing, influencing and implementing state and federal workforce, regulatory and reim-bursement policies will either encourage or hinder team-based approaches to care. We have to work together to ensure the former.
There are fewer and fewer silos within health care, and that is how WHA views our role … being the leading advocate on behalf of our local and regional health systems, including the teams of providers and practitioners who are increasingly accountable for the care delivered within those systems. Strong part-nership with WONE is an integral component of that broad-viewed WHA strategy and mission.

Pursuit of Wisconsin Nurses” License PlateContinues in 2015-2017 Legislative Session
You may recall the Legislative Committee of the WONE has been seeking legislative support to create the Wisconsin Nurses License Plate (WNLP). A WNLP would create revenues to support nursing education and expand awareness of the nursing profession.
This last year, endorsements from other nursing organizations were requested to demonstrate nurses’ support from a variety of organizations. Thus far, the following nursing organizations have endorsed the bill.
1. Wisconsin Organization of Nursing Executives 2. Wisconsin Nurses Association 3. Association of Operating Room Nurses, East Center Wisconsin Chapter 4. Wisconsin Association of Nurse Anesthetists 5. AORN Northeastern Wisconsin Chapter 6. Wisconsin Association of School Nurses 7. Wisconsin Society of Perianesthesia Nurses 8. Administrators Nursing Education Wisconsin. 9. Nursing Matters 10. Nursing Productions of America
If you are active in other nursing organizations, you can assist us in gaining additional endorsements. An information packet is available that provides all the necessary information.
In January 2015, the legislature reconvened after being “out of session” for several months. We now will continue efforts with Senator Mary Lazich, (R-New Berlin) to process the bill in the Senate. We will also be pursuing a Representative to sponsor the bill in the Assembly. Many bills can take several years to successfully process through the legislature. This appears to be the case for the WNLP. If you would like further information about the bill, please contact the Legislative Co-Chairs: Mary Cieslak-Duchek, at [email protected] or Janet Bauman, at [email protected].

Professional Development Committee Report
The Professional Development Committee announced the five recipients that have been selected for WONE Scholarship Grants. The MSN/DNP grant was awarded to Colleen Kane. The BSN grants were awarded to Barbara Windau, Karla Neuzil, Shannon Miller, and Victoria Deacy. Each recipient was awarded $1,000 toward their educational expenses. Congratulations to these scholarship winners!
The 2015 application process for all grants will be conducted online at the WONE web site (http://www.w-one.org) after June 1. Information and to access to the online application forms will be made available. The Professional Development Committee was excited to see more WONE members apply in 2014.
The Professional Development Committee was fortunate to collaborate with Barb Pinekenstein, DNP student, on her capstone project which focused on mentoring and associated best practices. The WONE membership was included in the sampling for the mentoring survey which was sent out in early January 2015. Results will be shared with the WONE board and membership when completed.
The Professional Development Committee has started planning for 2015 activities which includes of-fering a breakout session on “Mentoring” at the WONE Annual Conference in April, featuring both Barb Pinekenstein and Kathryn Olson, Chair Professional Development. The Mentor Program featured on the WONE website will be evaluated and updated later in 2015.
