Tuesday, April 8th, 12:30-2:00pm
The House of Delegates is the official annual meeting of the AORN membership, designed to share and vote on the business of the Association. Agenda topics to be announced.
How to Participate
Who Can Vote?
All members can vote.
Can I Participate Virtually?
Virtual participation will not be available in 2025. Due to low online participation, AORN has eliminated the virtual livestream of the Congress sessions.
Delegate Seating
All delegates will be assigned to a special area for the AORN business sessions. Chapter delegates will be assigned state seating.
State seating is determined by the number of authorized delegates. Therefore, there will be enough seats for all delegates in the assigned areas. In some instances, two delegations from different states may be seated in the same row. Delegates are asked to begin filling the rows from the aisle to the center in those cases. There will always be at least one empty chair separating the two delegations.
Roll Call Information
To accomplish the roll call efficiently and leave plenty of time for member-led discussion, each State Reporter will be limited to 25 words to announce the number of delegates and a brief statement about their State. A silent roll call will be taken by the Secretary before the House of Delegates to confirm the quorum.
Delegates are requested to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled starting time of the meetings. The meetings will start on time.
Parliamentarian Hours
The AORN parliamentarian will be available onsite at AORN Global Surgical Conference & Expo. The office location and hours to be announced.
