NADONA Welcomes Cindy Fronning as New Executive Director Cincinnati, OH,
July 26, 2024 - The National Association of Directors of Nursing Administration
in Long Term Care
NADONA is excited to announce Cindy Fronning as its new Executive Director effective immediately. We are looking forward to new growth and opportunities while we continue supporting the Nurse Leaders in the Post Acute arena across the nation and maintain our mission of being the leading professional organization for current and aspiring nursing leaders through providing mentorship, education and resources thus promoting the best quality of care for our elderly who reside in post-acute facilities.
Cindy has been our Director of Education for the past 6 years and knows the organization well. She has brought several new product lines to our educational resources and will continue to oversee that growth going forward.
Cindy brings a wealth of experience and knowledge from her many years in the Long-Term Care profession and will be a guiding force to any new and potential avenues that NADONA may pursue. “I am excited to begin this journey with NADONA in this new position. I look forward to each day knowing that we make a difference in the lives of our members and thus in the lives of the elderly, who are close to my heart” stated Cindy Fronning.
NADONA was established in 1986 and has continued to thrive ever since. Our most recent Executive Director, Sherrie Dornberger is credited with the phase” No one knows what you go through in a day, no one that is but NADONA.” This continues to be true today as we mentor and advise nurse leaders who need encouragement, advocacy, resources, and development opportunities.
We lost Sherrie suddenly and are now looking to Cindy, to not only follow the footprints Sherrie created for us but to use them to continue to steer NADONA in the right direction.
Robin Arnicar, President of the NADONA board stated, “After the loss of Sherrie, we naturally looked to Cindy to support our members, partners, and staff. Cindy’s knowledge of and relationships within the organization made her the obvious choice to be Sherrie’s successor. We look forward to working with Cindy in her new role and are confident that she will continue to lead NADONA toward a successful future.“

NOTICE OF TRANSFER OF SERVICES FROM NALPN EDUCATION FOUNDATION T0 NADONA
There has been a transfer in services from the NALPN Education Foundation to The National Association of Directors of Nursing Administration in Long Term Care (NADONA) for your LPN certification needs. Over the years, licensed practical nurses have greatly benefited from the educational and professional development services provided by the NALPN Education Foundation. However, as our needs and priorities evolve, we believe that aligning with NADONA will better serve the needs of practical nurses. NADONA's reputation for excellence in promoting leadership and advancing the practice of nursing administration in long-term care settings is well-known. We are confident that by transitioning the certifications to NADONA, licensed practical nurses will gain access to a broader range of resources, networking opportunities, and educational programs that are tailored to the unique challenges and demands of the long-term care sector. To facilitate a smooth transition, we will provide all necessary steps information involved in shifting our affiliation to NADONA. Additionally, all certification and class information is located on the NADONA website. (www.nadona.org).
