Announcement of CEO Resignation

It is with sadness that the Arizona Nurses Association announces Dawna Cato’s departure as the Chief Executive Officer effective December 31, 2022. We want to thank Dawna for her leadership and wish her all the best in her next venture.

Since 2020, Dawna has played a critical role in the development and success of the Arizona Nurses Association and we will miss her leadership. She led the charge in developing many AzNA and AzFFN initiatives, including the Arizona School Nurse Access Program (ASAP) and the Arizona Action Coalition (AzAC), and has been a deep supporter for our Continuing Education processes. Even through the challenge of COVID, she kept our focus on what was important – supporting Arizona’s nurses.

Over the next few weeks, the AzNA Board of Directors will be discussing what comes next for AzNA’s leadership team. We will keep you updated as decisions are made. We wish Dawna the best with her next endeavors and look forward to seeing what accomplishments lie ahead for her.
