We stand on the shoulders of leaders who built PNAA with sacrifice, heart, and vision.
Now it’s our turn.
I am ready to serve with integrity.
I am ready to lead with strategy.
I am ready to grow our region together.
Because leadership is not about position —
It is about preparation.
It is about service.
It is about impact.
Let’s grow.

Mabuhay PNAA!

I’m Dan Lovinaria, founding President of PNA Central Minnesota and the Filipino American Nurse Anesthesiology Society.

From Interim Chief CRNA to President of the Minnesota Association of Nurse Anesthetists and DNP Nurse Anesthesia Program Director at the University of Minnesota, I’ve led teams, built impactful programs, secured grants, and mentored hundreds of future nurse anesthesiologists nationwide.

I know what it takes to move organizations forward—and I’m ready to bring that same strategic, inclusive, future-focused leadership to the PNAA Board.

Walk with me as we empower the next generation, amplify our national voice, and make PNAA even more visible, influential, and future-ready.

VOTE DAN LOVINARIA FOR PNAA BOARD MEMBER.

I am running for PNAA South Central Region Regional Vice President because I believe our region is ready for its next level of impact.

We have strong leaders. We have passionate members. Now we need strategic direction.

My vision is simple: Growth. Innovation. Leadership. Unity.

We will implement a measurable membership expansion strategy.
We will launch a Leadership Academy to prepare the next generation.
We will modernize our operations with digital tools and shared resources.
We will strengthen advocacy and elevate Filipino nurse visibility across our states.
And we will ensure financial sustainability through smarter partnerships.

As a patient safety leader and nurse informaticist, educator, I bring experience in building systems, leading transformation, and delivering results. As a chapter president, I understand collaboration and grassroots leadership.

This is not about a title — it is about service.
Not about visibility — but about impact.

Together, we can build a stronger, more unified region.

One SCR, One PNAA, One Family.

I humbly ask for your support and your vote.

Maraming salamat.
