Candidate for Director At Large 

Randall E. Barnes, RN, VA-BC, CRNI
As Director at Large for the Association of Vascular Access, I will bring a unique approach to the ever changing landscape of vascular access; by incorporating my skills as an educator, administrator and clinician. We are in a constant state of variability, within a unique world where best practices, new technology and medical advancement often take years to get to the bedside. I will help bridge that gap between what’s being done and what should be done. I own and operate a large Vascular Access company in the Boston area, which allows me to directly feel the pulse of what AVA stands for. I’ve held positions such as President, Advisor and Programs Director for the largest INS chapter in the world; giving me an edge on collaboration with other organizations sharing similar priorities. I’ve been an AVA member for several years, have assisted with editing the AVA VA-BC exam and proudly hold both VA-BC and CRNI certifications. I bring to the table a strong, energetic and vibrant passion to make the procedure, our professions and most of all patient satisfaction better. I am a clinician, I am passionate about what we do and I am your candidate for Director at Large.
