title: ANNA special interest groups--fast track groups that get the work done!
abstract: The SIGs have grown from informal meetings of members to discuss clinical practice issues in their sub-specialties to a formalized committee to address the needs of the association and the nephrology community. A SIG Statement of Purpose was developed in October 2003 as an effort to clearly articulate the complementary and collaborative function of the group in concert with the mission of ANNA: The purpose of the SIGs is to provide complementary and collaborative influence on the continuum of nephrology nursing practice through the promotion of advocacy, scholarship and excellence. With this purpose as a guide, the SIGs will continue to evolve as needs of the association and nephrology nursing change.
