ASPAN Reorganization
One Voice. One Vision. Better Care.
During the Representative Assembly held at the ASPAN National Conference, delegates voted to approve the proposed national reorganization initiative that will transition ASPAN’s current 40 Components into 10 Regions over the coming months.
This marks an important step forward in strengthening ASPAN’s future and positioning the organization to better serve perianesthesia nurses across the country.
What does this mean for members?
The goal of this reorganization is to create stronger, more sustainable regional structures that improve access to regional education, networking, leadership opportunities, and member resources. As the new Regions develop, members should experience greater collaboration, stronger support systems, and expanded opportunities to volunteer and contribute at both the local and national levels. As these Regions strengthen, so will ASPAN’s collective voice, reach, and overall impact on the specialty of perianesthesia nursing.
The implementation process is expected to take approximately 10–14 months as legal, operational, governance, and transition work is completed across the country. During this period, members and Component leaders should continue operating as they currently do while transition planning and due diligence move forward.
ASPAN National will continue providing updates, guidance, and resources throughout the process to ensure transparency and support for all Components and members.
If you have any questions regarding the reorganization initiative, please contact the ASPAN National Office. Thank you for your continued commitment to ASPAN and the perianesthesia nursing community.
