Welcome to ORNAA
Welcome!
My name is Jill Clark - your ORNAA President. I am from Red Deer, Alberta and work at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre in the Operating Room as a frontline staff member. I have been an OR Nurse for almost 20 years and am truly passionate about Perioperative Nursing and supporting OR Nurses in our profession. I am also the current President of CORNA (Central Operating Room Nurses Association) and have been in this role for 9 years. I have been on the ORNAA Board for the last 9 years as well, holding positions of Secretary, President-Elect and now President.
ORNAA's focus has been on Education and Engagement with Members over the past year. We want to hear from you and assist and serve you well. We have offered successful in-person and online Education opportunities and have several more in the works for this Fall and Winter, which I am really excited about. Over the past few years, ORNAA has been striving to enhance our organization to better serve its members. ORNAA has engaged in several Strategic Planning Initiatives including: the release of new logos for ORNAA and its 3 Districts, a new mission/vision/value statement, revised ORNAA Bylaws and the inclusion of LPN-ORTs in our organization. We continue to work on reviewing and enhancing member benefits and incentives, offering quality education opportunities, fundraising, and supportive engagement. ORNAA wants each member to know that we value you and your ongoing commitment and dedication to your profession. We are continually revising and improving this organization so that it meets your needs, promotes surgical patient safety, and supports Perioperative Nursing.
The profound growth and positive changes to this organization would not be possible without a great team of volunteers who are dedicated to Perioperative Nursing.
I want to introduce you to these hard-working individuals who I am grateful to be serving with.
