Mary Jane & Rhonda will represent the chapter as delegates in Denver.
New Business:
National is proposing having each AORN member have a vote for each candidate. This could be done on line. Voting on specific
issues will still be done at Congress at the House of Delegates. Discussion as to how the chapter wanted Mary Jane and Rhonda to
vote. The vote was overwhelmingly in favor. If this does pass it may not be necessary for chapters to send delegates. We could
still send representatives of the chapter.
Kris proposed sponsoring an SPD tech to attend their national Congress. There was much discussion with issues raised on both for
and against. Discussion included the issue of then sponsoring a surgical tech to attend their national conference. More information
is needed. Kris will invite Cheron to attend our next meeting to provide more details.
