Welcome to the Alpha Chapter!
This is the 2019-2020 Board at STTI Headquarters
A message from the Alpha Chapter President:
Hello, Alpha Members!
I am pleased to serve as your President (2020-2022). Angela Opsahl is serving in the role of Vice President through 2021 and is in charge of planning our programs and induction. Judy Young from IUPUI is the Secretary, and Erin Geiselman from IUK is the current treasurer. We are fortunate to have 10 campus counselors as well as a counselor dedicated to recruiting and welcoming nurse leader to our chapter. The board met for a virtual retreat in June 2020 to discuss our strategic plan and formulate goals for the next two years. Our goals thread from Sigma President Richard Riccardi's exciting Call to Action. Member retention and engagement remains an important goal for our chapter. Please let us know how we can serve you!
Please join me in welcoming all members of your leadership team. Our counselors (with their email information) are:

Have you ever thought about being a chapter leader? We have many committees from which you can choose to begin your journey as a chapter leader. Please contact any of us if you think chapter leadership could be in your future.
Here is our most current listing of committee chairs:
We also want to know what you would like to know about membership, future plans, etc. The chapter leadership is here to serve our members, and we want all Alpha members to have a great experience. So please help us by sharing your thoughts. My email is lojcox@iu.edu.
Meetings are the second Tuesday of the month from 4:00-6:00 pm EST. If you are interested in sitting in on a meeting, please contact me, and I will forward you the phone number and link.
Angela Opsahl will also need volunteer help with planning programs and also induction. These are a great way to get involved and meet the other members.
A special thank you to all members, we appreciate you. I look forward to serving you throughout my tenure as a chapter leader.
