2012 NADONA BOARD ELECTION RESULTS

 

President:                          Robin Arnicar, Maryland
Recording Secretary:       Aysha Kuhlor, Connecticut
Treasurer:                          Neal Larson, North Dakota

 

Because Ms. Arnicar was the Vice President during the election, she resigned this position to step up to the Presidential position, which left an opening on the Board for Vice President.  The Board of Directors has appointed Aysha Kuhlor to this position.  She will serve out the term of Vice President until elections take place in the fall of 2012.

 

The Board of Directors has appointed Amanda Kistler to fill the position of Recording Secretary vacated as a result of Aysha Kuhlor’s appointment to Vice President.

 

The Board consists of the following individuals: 

 

President:                            Robin Arnicar, RN, CDONA, FACDONA
Vice President:                    Aysha Kuhlor, RN, BA, CDONA
Treasurer:                           Neal Larson, RN-BC, CDONA, FACDONA
Recording Secretary:          Amanda Kistler, RN, CDONA, FACDONA
Corresponding Secretary:  Bonnie Cruz, RN, BSN, M.Ed.
Advisor to the Board:         Laura Fain, RN, CDONA, FACDONA
                                                 Past President, Founding Member
Executive Director:             Sherrie Dornberger, RNC, GDCN, CDONA
                                                 FACDONA, Immediate Past President

 

The Board now has 4 working DONs on board!  They all serve as mentors for NADONA for those DONs who have questions, need a policy, opinion or a shoulder to lean on! They may be reached at mentor@nadona.org.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

 

I am a member of a team, and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion.

Pioneer Network is pleased to announce that its Food and Dining Clinical Standards Task Force: A Rothschild Regulatory Task Force has finalized new Dining Practice Standards agreed to by twelve national clinical standard-setting associations (including NADONA/LTC).

To our Members and Nurses certified through NADONA,

In response to the frequency and magnitude of natural disasters experienced across North America, NADONA is offering additional support to its community of certified members.

NADONA's certified nurses whose certificates have been lost or damaged are asked to contact our office at 1-800-222-0539 or jan@nadona.org.   Those members who may need assistance with the renewal of their membership or certification and or assistance with taking a certification exam because of experiencing a natural or personal hardship (diagnosis of illness that is preventing you from working, fire, theft of personal belongings) are also asked to call or email the NADONA office at the above numbers and address.

The NADONA board and staff are committed to supporting our members and certified nurses.  Our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to everyone being affected across our country from these widespread disasters, not just NADONA members. We want to somehow assist our members and nurses certified through NADONA. If we are able to help with just one step in recovering some documents that may have been lost, damaged or stolen, we are happy to do so. Having limited or no access to your personal property, belongings and keepsakes is honestly unthinkable! Some individuals may never recover fully from such devastation but, if we can assist with their recovery, we would be honored! 

On behalf of our board of Directors and Staff,

Sherrie Dornberger, RNC, CDONA, GDCN, FACDONA

NADONA President
