Nurse Advisory Committee Welcomes New Members

At its meeting in January, the UNA-AFSCME Nurse Advisory Committee welcomed six new members to its ranks, including a new LPN co-chair who replaces Bonnie Marpoe, who has retired. The new committee members are: 

  • Barbara Weaver, LPN, co-chair, Local 2245, Pennsylvania
  • Judith Arroyo, RN, Local 436, New York
  • Rhonda Cox, LPN, 1199J, New Jersey
  • Patricia Flowers, LPN, Local 2209, New Jersey
  • Rosemarie Kukys, RN, CSEA/Local 1000, New York
  • David Miller, NP, Local 3728, Indiana

Barbara Weaver, LPN, replaces Bonnie Marpoe as the new UNA co-chair.


The committee is made up of registered and licensed vocational/ practical nurses from around the country. Members are appointed by Pres. Gerald W. McEntee for two-year terms, and their duties include advising the president and International staff on issues relevant to nurses — often sounding the first alarm about emerging trends we need to address.

The 21-member committee is responsible for planning the biennial National Nurses Congress and staffing the Wellness Booth at the AFSCME International Conventions. A full roster of committee members is at right.
