State Council Directory

AORN currently has 20 state councils. The directory below provides links to some of these councils and their officers. Some state councils maintain standalone websites, some use Periop Corner – AORN's online social network – for their web communications, and a handful of state councils do not maintain a presence on the web or have not provided AORN with a link.
