ABPANC Leadership

ABPANC is governed by a dedicated and experienced group of nine volunteer leaders, eight of whom are registered nurses. One member of the Board is a Public Member. The ABPANC Bylaws allow for a range in the number of board members from nine to thirteen. The ABPANC Board of Directors elects all of its members. Two ex-officio members also serve on the Board of Directors – the ASPAN President and ABPANC Chief Executive Officer.

As an ABPANC Volunteer, you have the unique opportunity at the national level to contribute to the development of the CPAN® and CAPA® programs that recognize and promote excellence in perianesthesia nursing practice and, most importantly, are in the best interest of perianesthesia patients and their families.

Further, you have an opportunity to:

• as nurses, give back to a profession that you’ve built a career on;
• as Public Members, give a voice to the needs and expectations of perianesthesia patients and their families;
• ensure the quality of care delivered and make a positive difference in patient outcomes;
• influence national standards and practice;
• advocate for perianesthesia patients and their loved ones at a global level beyond your immediate environment;
• grow professionally in areas you’re not exposed to every day;
• network nationally with colleagues beyond the walls of your own workplace;
• be recognized as a national leader within your profession; and
• collaborate with other national professional organizations and their leaders.
