Banner Good Samaritan PR specialist Rebecca Armendariz was elected to the Brain Injury Association of Arizona (BIAAZ) Board of Directors at the non-profit organization’s annual member meeting last month.

She joins Ronda Alcorn,  Scott Bolzan and Christopher Dupont as new board members who will serve their in their first terms through 2012.

“Through my work at Banner Good Samaritan, I had the opportunity to interact with Brain Injury Association of Arizona on several occasions,” said Armendariz. “I quickly learned the importance of brain injury support for the community. Working at a Level I trauma center, I [unfortunately] see how quickly and unexpectedly someone’s life can change as a result of traumatic brain injury.”

Prior to joining Banner Health, Armendariz was an account coordinator at McMurry and spent several years before that working in community relations and resource development for Valle del Sol, a non-profit social services, behavioral health and leadership development organization. Currently, Armendariz serves on the Board of Directors for the Phoenix chapter of the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC), as vice president of community involvement.
