  • Alpha Beta Iota House of Delegates Voting and Membership Renewal Reminder

    By: Laura Liggett Laura Liggett , 6 months ago

    Dear Alpha Beta Iota Members,

    As we continue our journey towards nursing excellence and global impact, it is crucial for all members to be informed and actively engaged in the decision-making process. The upcoming House of Delegates, scheduled for 14-15 November, presents a significant opportunity for our chapter to contribute to Sigma's governance and the future direction of our esteemed organization. Please review proposed changes to Sigma's bylaws, articles of incorporation, and resolutions and meet the candidates running for international officer positions to help inform your chapter's decision.

    We encourage each member to review and consider these voting items carefully, as they hold immense importance in shaping the future of our organization. Our chapter delegates, Dr. Julie Penick and Dr. Heather Abadie will represent the Alpha Beta Iota Chapter at the 47th Biennial Convention. 

    In addition to the House of Delegates, we emphasize the significance of membership renewal and active engagement within Sigma. Your continued participation not only strengthens our chapter but also contributes to the broader global nursing community.

    Thank you for your dedication and commitment to Sigma's mission. Your involvement makes a significant difference.

    Best regards,

    Laura Liggett
