Austin Area AORN Chapter Board of Directors

The Austin Area Chapter of the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN) was established to bring together perioperative nurses in Central Texas with a shared mission of advancing patient safety and professional excellence in the operating room.

Founded by a group of dedicated surgical nurses in 1963, the chapter has grown into a vibrant community of professionals committed to education, advocacy, and collaboration. Over the years, the chapter has hosted numerous continuing education events, community outreach programs, and networking opportunities for perioperative nurses across the Austin area.

The chapter has played a key role in supporting local hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and academic institutions by promoting best practices in perioperative care. Through partnerships with national AORN leadership and local healthcare organizations, the Austin Area Chapter continues to be a vital resource for professional development and leadership in the surgical nursing field.
