Welcome to ORNAA
Hello!
Hello and Welcome!
Hi! My name is Jill Clark, and I am from Red Deer, Alberta. I work at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre as a frontline staff member. I have been an OR Nurse for 17 years and am truly passionate about Perioperative Nursing and supporting OR Nurses in our profession. I am the current President of CORNA (Central Operating Room Nurses Association) and have been in this role for 6 years now. I have been on the ORNAA Board for the last 6 years, holding positions of Secretary, President-Elect and now President since June of 2023.
I want to introduce you to my ORNAA Board. These hard-working individuals volunteer countless hours and are extremely dedicated to Perioperative Nursing.

Over the last year, ORNAA has been engaging in Strategic Planning Processes to better serve its members and ensure a viable and strong Organization well into the future. Some of the areas we have been focusing on include: our Mission/Vision/Values Statements, our Board Structure to ensure Succession Planning and Longevity, a Refreshed Organization with a New Logo, and Enhancing the Member Benefits we offer including quality Education. Strategic Planning will continue into 2025 so we can move through the process thoroughly and with conviction. ORNAA anticipates sharing our Strategic Plan and more of the exciting things we have been working on, gaining feedback, and engaging with its Members in the near future. More information will be shared in the coming months. ORNAA wants each member to know that we value you and your ongoing support. We want you to know we are committed to improving this organization so that it meets your needs, promotes surgical patient safety, supports Perioperative Nursing, and ensures ORNAA’s sustainability for years to come.
I have so much pride and respect for this organization. My wish is to support the ORNAA Board and all Members in the best way I can during this next phase of transition and transformation. Thank you for everyone’s dedication and perseverance in your profession.
If you are interested in learning more about ORNAA, your individual District, or want to learn how you can volunteer, please reach out to your District President, or myself. We welcome your feedback and support!
