Welcome ARN 2020 Class of Fellows

On October 21, ARN inducted its 2020 class of fellows during the REACH 2020 virtual conference. Established in 2019, the ARN Fellow Designation (FARN) is the most distinguished level of member, as well as a public hallmark of professional esteem.  

Join us in recognizing and welcoming the following members who achieved fellow designation this year ​

These fellows went through a rigorous application process and successfully demonstrated outstanding leadership in rehabilitation nursing, and they have each provided notable contributions, service, and commitment to the specialty and ARN. Areas considered for the distinction include participation and leadership in ARN, consultation, research, education, practice, administration, advocacy, and public service.
