Al Manila Espinas is a graduate of the University of Santo Tomas-Legazpi in the Philippines, Studied Programming and Networking Specialist at Brick Computer Science Institute, and Master of Science in Nursing at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. Mr. Espinas is currently employed as a Quality Nurse consultant at the Regional Clinical Quality Programs and Data Analytics department of Kaiser Foundation Hospital and Health Plan.
Al is instrumental in forming several PNAA chapters. He was the founding President of the PNA Ocean County Subchapter in New Jersey when the chapter was formed in 1997. When he moved to Texas, he facilitated the formation of the PNA South Texas, Rio Grande Valley chapter in 2004, where he served as the interim President. In 2010, he once again sowed the seeds of the PNAA, which led to the formation of the PNA Greater Sacramento chapter and he served as their Adviser. Just when he thought he was done with chapter formation, he organized the PNA Napa-Solano chapter in 2018, where he still serves as their Adviser. Mr. Espinas' latest PNA involvement is not by forming a new one but by re-invigorating a nearly dormant chapter, the PNA Greater Sacramento, which was eventually renamed California Capital City (PNAC3).
