Upsilon Kappa Members:

On behalf of the leadership succession committee, we would like to thank everyone for their board nominations. We had several outstanding leaders nominated to serve on various board positions. Nominees be on the lookout the last week of March for the consent to serve emails and forms.  As a reminder elections will be held May 6-12, 2024! Thank you all for your participation, expertise, and excellence in nursing. Together we can make a difference!

Since our inception in 2008, Upsilon Kappa has thrived on the dedication and contributions of its members. We've built a strong chapter, fostered academic excellence, and made a positive impact on our community.

Following careful consideration and analysis, the Upsilon Kappa chapter leadership has made the decision to increase our annual membership dues by $5, effective July 1, 2024. We want to assure you that this decision was not taken lightly and is essential for the continued success and growth of our chapter.

New Annual Dues:

• Renewal/New members- $110.00
• Students - $95.00
• Retired Nurses - $55.00

The small increase in membership dues will allow our chapter to hold two scholarly events per year, open to all community partners to network, share poster presentations and podium presentations on healthcare topics impacting our communities. The increase in dues will also support our Upsilon Kappa chapter new member induction celebration, to recognize our next generation of exemplary nursing students and leaders. Other benefits from the increase in funds will support events such as Nurses’ Week celebrations and community service projects.

Together, we can ensure that Upsilon Kappa continues to be a vibrant and impactful chapter for generations to come. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

If you are experiencing a hardship and need assistance with your membership dues, we invite you to apply for the Edith Anderson Membership Subsidy.

Sincerely,

The Upsilon Kappa Chapter Board Members
