The days are packed! There are miles of booths and scads of pens and trinkets to collect…
My Chapter Cohorts and I attended the Forum after lunch where we heard a discussion on the proposed Bylaws changes and some AORN initiatives. I don’t know that everyone’s questions were answered regarding the Bylaws changes, but perhaps further discussion tomorrow or Thursday will change that. I was intrigued by the expanded membership offerings by AORN. I think the creativity behind them will help to expand the membership. The organization is not without its challenges. I would encourage our incoming President, Anne Marie Herlehy, to help the membership understand what function Chapters will have in AORN’s long-term future. As one member asked during the Question and Answer session, if you offer free CE’s online what can a Chapter offer to draw members? The answer is complicated, but I’m afraid many members are scratching their heads right now. We need AORN to help us with an answer.
