To:  All NEC-ARIN members

From:  NEC-ARIN Executive Board

A year ago we asked your patience as we re-grouped post pandemic to find ways to serve our members.  Our goal was to continue to promote imaging nursing and provide local education.   Our hope was to resume our active educational conferences.   The reality today is that we all are emerging from the pandemic with changes to our professional and personal lives.   One of the changes ARIN has made is the dissolution of Chapters, there will instead be Partner Organizations.   This decision directly affects NEC-ARIN. 

We are looking at our By-Laws and the steps that would need to be taken to move from a Chapter to a Partner organization or to dissolve the New England Chapter.   We are pursuing both options and will be scheduling an open chapter meeting soon. 

We will continue to cascade ARIN’s online educational opportunities to you.  We hope that you take advantage of what ARIN has to offer and the on-line format that allows you to learn from anywhere!

With appreciation for your dedication to your patients and our nursing specialty,

Martha M Manning BSN, RN, CRN
