Deadline Extended for Chapter Delegate Applications for the 2022 AORN Global Surgical Conference & Expo in New Orleans!

The AORN Global Surgical Conference & Expo takes place March 19 - 23, 2022 in New Orleans, Louisiana, bringing together perioperative nurses and exhibitors for five days of learning, networking, and inspiration.  During the conference there will be more than 200 contact hours available.  Hear from renowned speakers and industry experts for new ideas on improving perioperative practice.

At the expo, experience the latest innovations for the OR, connect with recruiters from top health systems, and participate in educational workshops and hands-on simulation trainings.

Are you interested in attending the conference as a chapter delegate?  Serving as a chapter delegate will only enhance your experience.  Delegates are voting members of AORN who attend the business meetings during the conference and expo and have the privilege of voting on the business of the Association.

Chapters receive a certain number of delegate seats based on their total chapter membership. Chapter delegates vote on behalf of the chapter membership as a whole.

If you wish to serve as a chapter delegate, submit a willingness-to-serve form by January 14, 2022. Chapter delegates will be chosen based on points accumulated for participation in chapter activities and events (a minimum of 6 points in the calendar year is required).  All chapter delegates chosen are eligible to receive a stipend.  In order to receive the stipend, you must attend all business sessions, vote, and submit an article for the chapter newsletter.

Submit a willingness-to-serve form to Alice Erskine at aerskine52@comcast.net.  Delegates will be chosen and contacted by January 22, 2022 or sooner, and an announcement will be posted on the chapter website.
