Pennsylvania Association of Directors of Nursing Administration

“An insurance claim was filed and a referral made to the bucks county district attorney's office regarding transfer of a portion of padona's member dues to another organization. The other organization was controlled by the former executive director/board chair. The board was unaware of the relationship between the former executive director and the organization and failed to understand any goods or services of equivalent value that was provided to padona in exchange for the dues payment transfer. The district attorney's office declined to prosecute because of the lack of records available. The insurance carrier is still investigating.”
