ARN Celebrates National Volunteer Week

The Association of Rehabilitation Nurses (ARN) would like to take this week (April 16-22) to recognize our hard working committees and volunteers who make a big difference in the organization and throughout the field of rehabilitation. Hear from President of ARN, Maria Radwanski MSN FARN RN CRRN CMGT-BC, as she pens a letter to our volunteers, and see the list of our committees who move this organization forward through their hard work and efforts. 

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
