Task force members will contact chapters in the various AORN regions to exchange information on ways to generate student interest in OR nursing. The task force also plans to develop an audiovisual presentationfor use by chapters. The task force members are Inez Tenzer, chairman; Cathy Brown, Region 11, VII; Georgia Burnett, Region I; Geneva Dietrich, Region 111, IV; Constance OBrien, Region V, VI; and Kay Stodd, Region VII.
