Beta Zeta at - Large President Welcome Message:

New Year, New Opportunities: Let’s Shine Together in 2025 - 2026

As we enter a new fiscal year, we step into fresh opportunities to grow, connect, and lead together. Sigma is not just an organization—it’s a movement of committed nurses making a real difference in the world. And right now, our chapter is brimming with potential.

Volunteering with Sigma isn’t about adding more to your plate—it's about lighting a spark. When we align our passions with purpose, we thrive. This year, we are inviting each of you to step forward, showcase your strengths, and take an active role in shaping the future of our chapter. Whether you have five minutes or five hours, there’s a way for you to contribute that will leave you inspired, not burned out.

We are a chapter rich in wisdom and talent. My vision for Beta Zeta-at-Large in 2025 centers on connection, active engagement, and self-care. Together, let’s create a space where your voice matters, your ideas take flight, and your commitment to nursing is celebrated.

Being part of Sigma means being part of something bigger. Let’s lean into the momentum of the new year and show what it means to be Sigma Strong.

With gratitude and energy,
Wendy Sergeant, DNP, PMHNP
President, Beta Zeta-at-Large Chapter
