Board of Directors

I have 18 years of experience as a CVICU Registered Nurse and have served as a Critical Care Educator for the past 3 years. My background also includes work as a Clinical Instructor, where I developed a passion for mentoring and supporting nurses in their professional growth. I am deeply committed to education, evidence-based practice, and advancing excellence in critical care. As part of our chapter leadership, I am excited to help grow our community with engaging events, meaningful education, and networking opportunities that bring members together.

Hi Members,

I have been dedicated to nursing since 2010 and became a registered nurse in 2016. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working in a variety of settings, including skilled nursing, subacute care, memory care, rehabilitation, home health, IV therapy, neonatal critical care, emergency nursing, and now adult critical care.

My passion lies in providing high-quality, compassionate patient care and promoting community health. I also believe deeply in creating positive, supportive workplace environments that empower nurses to thrive.

As Treasurer of the AACN Inland Empire Chapter, I am excited to contribute to the continued success of our chapter, support professional growth among members, and advocate for excellence in critical care nursing throughout our community.

Becky Konrad , BSN, RN, BA
Secretary, AACN Inland Empire Chapter

I have been an Emergency and Trauma Registered Nurse at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center since 2013. I hold two bachelor’s degrees — a BS in Nursing from Azusa Pacific University and a BA in Psychology from the University of California, Santa Barbara.

I’m passionate about emergency nursing and dedicated to strengthening collaboration between ICU and ED nurses to enhance patient care across critical care specialties.

At PVHMC, I’ve served as the Emergency Department Stroke Task Force Chair for the past six years and currently serve on two hospital-wide committees: the Professional Development Council and the Retention and Recruitment Committee.

As the newly elected Secretary for the AACN Inland Empire Chapter, I’m excited to contribute to and learn from such an inspiring group of nurses. In my spare time, I enjoy camping with my family and playing pickleball whenever I can.

I have been an AACN IE Chapter Board member for the past 10 years.  I currently work as a Part Time ICU Nurse with a Master’s Degree in Nursing Education. I am passionate about Critical Care and nursing education using a modern learning approach. I developed and launched an eLearning course that helps Critical Care nurses pass the CCRN exam. I believe in the mission of the AACN Inland Empire Chapter and I look forward to helping in whatever capacity I can to promote our vision for 2024. There are multiple challenges as well as opportunities on the horizon for our chapter and I believe that with the right leadership and board participation and engagement, we can achieve a new level of excellence for our members and our community.
