FROM THE PRESIDENT

Bethany Biardi MSN, RN, CPN, CPAN
AzPANA President 2026
Dear AZPANA Members,
As I begin my term as AZPANA President, I feel both honored and energized by the work ahead. It is truly a privilege to serve, and I'm excited to continue supporting the incredible nurses who make up our
Arizona perianesthesia community.
​
AZPANA is dedicated to promoting educational excellence, certification, supporting evidence-based practice and strengthening connections among perianesthesia nurses across our state.
Together, we can advance our specialty while improving outcomes for the patients and families we serve.
​
ASPAN and AZPANA are entering a time of transition, with new structures and new opportunities for involvement. This is an important moment for our organization, and I invite you to be part of it. Our strength comes from you, your ideas, your expertise, and your willingness to participate. Whether it's joining a committee, helping with education, contributing to research, or simply staying engaged, every bit of involvement makes a difference. Check out AZPANA willingness to serve for opportunities.
I'm grateful for the opportunity to serve as your president, and I'm excited for what we will accomplish together.
​
Warm Regards,
​
Bethany Biardi, MSN, RN, CPN, CPAN
