A Letter from President Radwanksi to ARN Volunteers
Dear Members,
Happy National Volunteer Week!
This week of April 16- 22 is devoted to recognizing and thanking volunteers across the country. On behalf of ARN, we would like to extend our warmest greetings to all of our volunteers in celebration of this week of recognition.
Our member volunteers' dedication, passion, and hard work are truly inspiring, and we are grateful for everything you do to support our mission of furthering the practice of rehabilitation. Without your selfless contributions, we wouldn't be able to make the positive impact we do on our rehabilitation nursing community.
If you're interested in volunteer opportunities, please look for our 2023 Call for Volunteers this September 5. We hope to have a position that fits your skillset and interest as we bring our passions and strengths together to support all rehabilitation nurses.
Sincerely,
Maria Radwanski MSN FARN RN CRRN CMGT-BC, ARN Board of Directors President, 2022–2023
