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.
