Presidential Message 2023
Greetings to all. I am Dr. Heidi Shank, and I am honored to serve you as the newly elected president of Zeta Theta Chapter-At-Large of Sigma (2023-2025). We have had our initial Zeta Board meeting and have an exciting Fall New Member Induction planned for November 6th @ 6pm to be hosted in person by Lourdes University. Featured speaker , Dr. Courtney Goda, local nurse extraordinaire, will share her insights of her nursing journey, lessons learned, and the Sigma involvement during the event. We hope eligible students and area nursing leaders discover the many benefits available through membership in Sigma International and Zeta Theta Chapter-At-Large locally. Please reach out to any member if you have questions.
Our chapter is special! How do I know? Five nursing programs (Bowling Green State University, Lourdes University , Mercy College, Ohio Northern University, & University of Toledo) collaborate to form the At-Large-Chapter which is a rarity as announced at the 46th Biennium Conference in 2021 held in Indianapolis, Indiana. I was there as a chapter delegate and many people approached me after that announcement to find out more about our collaboration and success. How did they know we were successful? We were awarded our 7th consecutive Key Award at that event. The Chapter Key Award, established in 1991, honors Sigma chapters that excel in chapter-related activities. This November 14 & 15th, Dr. Greg Shannon and Antoinette (Toni) Kramer, MSN, RN will serve as Biennium Conference delegates for our chapter to vote on behalf of the chapter and will attend a special recognition luncheon to accept our 8th Key Award for chapter work excellence demonstrated 2021-2023. Excellence sustained for 16 years (before Covid and beyond) is certainly worthy of special recognition and celebration!!!!
Our Spring 2024 & beyond plans include a Research CE offering, an in-person end of the year dinner & recognition event, and planning for other fun events to come. We'd love to have you join us.
We also hope current members seek interest in filling some of our vacant board positions and our interesting volunteer opportunities. Sigma and Zeta have something for everyone and we hope to see you soon!
Email me with any questions heidi.shank@utoledo.edu
My best regards,
Heidi
BE BOLD!!!!

Dear Zeta Theta Chapter Member (Jan 2023):
My name is Dr. Valerie Pauli, and I am the current President of our local Sigma organization - Zeta Theta Chapter at-Large. Over the last 13-years I have served in various capacities on the Board of Directors for Zeta Theta and have found this service incredibly humbling. This November we hosted our first in-person Induction since Fall 2020! I would like to take this opportunity to express a warm welcome to all the new graduates and community members inducted within the past year, and also recognize the dedication and hard work of all current members who keep our chapter moving forward year after year.
The chapter offers numerous grants and scholarships to support members in research, education, community service, and leadership development. I encourage the membership at-large to utilize these member perks and attend Zeta Theta sponsored events throughout the year. If you are interested in becoming a member of the board of directors, or member of a committee, please reach out to me at vpauli@emich.edu
I look forward to a great 2023!
In care
Valerie Pauli EdD, MSN, ACNS-BC, CNE
