TANA PAC stands for Tennessee Association of Nurse Anesthetists – Political Action Committee.
The TANA PAC is an important component of the association’s issue advocacy arm. A strong and healthy PAC is the result of an active and engaged membership that understands the importance of contributions that give the association access to lawmakers who have the power and ability to impact legislation pertaining to the CRNA profession.

What is the value of making a CRNA PAC contribution?
Contributing to your association PAC is an easy and critical way to engage in the political process on behalf of your profession. No dollar amount is too big or too small to have a lasting impact on the strength and credibility of our PAC. The stronger the PAC, the more impact we can have with legislators to use those dollars to gain access and build key relationships that are integral to the continued growth and sustainability of your profession on a state level.
Please note that per Tennessee campaign finance law, TANA-PAC contributions are not eligible for federal income tax deductions.
