Arnoldi was described as follows by the individual who nominated her, “Since Jennifer joined ICHP in 2009, I remember her being very active in the organization. She could always be counted on to step up and volunteer, especially if the activity related to central Illinois. Jennifer clearly met the criteria for the New Practitioner Leadership award. She is an asset to our organization!”
