ARTZ Executive Director Receives IJOPN Award

We are pleased to announce that Susan Shifrin recently received an award for her service on the editorial board of the International Journal of Older People Nursing.

No journal flourishes without an editorial board member. We at IJOPN are lucky to have a steadfast board with members around the world. Three board members went above and beyond this past year, especially in reviewing manuscripts and spontaneously offering key insights about the direction of the journal for the future. This year, we recognized these three board members and our senior social media editor, who received the Editors’ Special Award for leadership in the journal’s social media feed and her outstanding peer reviews, for their deep dedication and terrific service to the journal.

Susan shared the following about the importance of serving on the editorial board of the IJOPN:

I enjoy sitting on the editorial board and having the opportunity and privilege to read submissions from across the globe in areas that are near and dear to me as the founder and executive director of a non-profit organization that focuses on the well-being of older people, particularly those living with dementia. It is always inspiring and deeply thought-provoking to see the breadth and depth of research and scholarship being carried out in the interest of enhancing the quality of life of older people. Thank you for giving me this opportunity that I value so very much.
