JoAnn Shaw, Director
Hello, my name is JoAnn Shaw LPN, and a PROUD member of the National Association of Licensed Practical/Licensed Vocational Nurses, Inc. since 1976.
I have been attending Annual NALPN Conferences since 1999, and each time I attend, I fill my tool belt of nursing, with more and more. The CEUs/Certifications are so enlightening, and the fellowship is beyond measurable. Currently I am the NALPN Vice President, Conference Chairperson, New Chapter State Chairperson, and serve on NALPN membership committee.
In Wisconsin I have served on Convention, membership, and bylaws committees. Currently I am proudly representing the Wisconsin Association of Licensed Practical Nurses, as their President.
I have always felt that LPNs/LVNs need to be part of their professional organization, NALPN. It is a personal goal to inform as many LPNs/LVNs about their organization, a to foster memberships to NALPN. There are over 1.2 million LPNs/LVNs in the United States, it be awesome to have each LPN/LVN a member of NALPN. Come join us!!!

Hello, my name is Arlene Imes from the Great State of North Carolina where I serve as the NC NALNP Chapter President.
I am an enthusiastic, motivated, and dedicated nurse with 35 years of experience in nursing. I began my career caring for Veterans as a Nursing Assistant in 1987. I later attended and graduated from Rowan Cabarrus Community College in 1991 and transitioned into an LPN. I’ve worked is Med-Surg, LTC, Rehab, and Mental Health. I still serve the Veteran population at the Salisbury VA Medical Center in Telehealth as the Lead LPN.

I have served on several nursing committees and boards throughout my nursing career.
It is important to build collaboration throughout healthcare and having a seat at the table
so that my opinions are heard. I am dedicated to anything I participate in and can be
counted on to complete my commitment.
