As the new AANA leadership team begins to settle in, we had a chance to sit down with the current AANA President, Jeff Molter, MBA, MSN, CRNA, to hear about his journey to this prestigious position and what keeps him grounded during all the travel and meetings. Plus, we’ll get updates on the biggest issues affecting the CRNA profession and hear what goals this new Board of Directors will have for the upcoming year.
It’s not all about policy and strategy once you reach this level. It’s about the heart behind the role, and Jeff brings that to the table in a way that’s both inspiring and down to Earth. We’re excited to give him the platform to showcase that and to speak on a more personal level about his 25+ years as a CRNA.
Here’s some of what you’ll hear in this episode:
🩺 Advocacy in action – The AANA continues to fight discriminatory 15% reimbursement cuts from major insurers.
⚖️ Legal momentum – A federal writ of mandamus aims to compel enforcement of provider nondiscrimination laws.
🧭 Leadership with purpose – Jeff emphasizes connection, humility, and the value of mentorship in leadership.
👥 Growing membership – AANA now welcomes RN and APRN members, expanding outreach and influence.
🧠 Governance reform – New bylaws strengthen board accountability and transparency for the future.

"Being on the board, as you know, we don't always see eye to eye or agree on things, but at the end of the day, we're still a board. And when we make a decision, it's a unified decision from our organization."
