A Greater Sigma Legacy
More than just a flyer
It’s our legacy
I’m excited to announce my candidacy for the 2024-2026 International Grand Epistoleus position. My passion for our history grew during a 2011 research project at the International Corporate Headquarters. That is part of the work that I would love to continue doing.
Join me in building “A Greater Sigma Legacy” as we continue to document our rich history in Aurora magazines, in history books like “Behind these Doors – A Legacy” and “The Legacy Continues,” as well as in new, innovative ways that meet the trends of today.
