Hello everyone,
My name is Sandi Nolan, and I am honored to serve as your new Chapter President, following in the footsteps of Cat Lawless. I have been a proud member of Sigma Theta Tau since 2006, and I’m excited to take on this leadership role for the first time. My goal is to keep you informed and engaged with the latest chapter updates, events, and opportunities to connect.

Last spring, we proudly partnered with Delaware Technical Community College and became the Beta Xi at large chapter, and together we continue to strengthen and grow our chapter. As of June 2025, our new officers have officially begun their terms. I’m delighted to introduce our President-Elect, Kelly Davis, who will assume the presidency in Spring 2027, and our Vice President, Emma Okonowicz, who is already doing an incredible job in her new role.

We also welcome our four Nurse Leader Interns: Lillian Whitesell, Chloe Hickman, Ashley Cooke, and Brynn Johnson, who are all off to a fantastic start!

We kicked off the year with a September meeting followed by a wonderful Founders Day Celebration on October 7th. Looking ahead, we have an exciting calendar filled with opportunities for learning, networking, and service. Please mark your calendar for our next Membership Meeting on November 3^rd at 6PM, which will be held in person at McDowell Hall and via Zoom for those joining remotely. I hope to see you there!

Our chapter is also preparing for representation at Convention, where we will proudly accept the Key Award once again, an achievement that reflects the hard work and dedication of our amazing members. We look forward to bringing that excitement back to share with all of you.

As always, stay connected for service opportunities, announcements, and chapter news through the Circle, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. We value your feedback and ideas, so please don’t hesitate to reach out to me or any of our chapter leaders.

Here’s to another great year ahead for Beta Xi at-Large!
Congratulations, everyone, and thank you for all that you do to make our chapter thrive.

Warm regards,
Sandi Nolan
President, Beta Xi at-Large Chapter
