The 2024 Class of Fellows were inducted on June 27 during the 2024 American Association of Nurse Practitioners® Conference in Nashville, Tennessee.
The prestigious FAANP program recognizes nurse practitioners who have demonstrated outstanding leadership and contributions to education, policy, clinical practice and research in the field.

A nationally recognized diabetes expert, LaManna has focused her 30 years of practice on improving care and outcomes for people with diabetes especially underserved populations. In addition, she has made valuable contributions with her research focused on diabetes self-management education and pregnancy-related diabetes. She is a board-certified adult nurse practitioner and holds national certifications in advanced diabetes management and diabetes self-management education and support.
One of her contributions is creating the first comprehensive diabetes disease management program in Brevard County, Florida. The program received national recognition. Currently, she provides diabetes-related pregnancy care at a specialty clinic with the Florida Department of Health in Brevard County serving medically underserved women.
A faculty member of UCF’s College of Nursing for 20 years, LaManna currently mentors future nurse practitioners as director of the Family Nurse Practitioner and Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner doctoral programs. A certified telehealth educator, she recently served as a member of the National Telehealth Toolkit Taskforce and the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties Telehealth Committee.
