In Memoriam: Dr. Sherri Jones Tapp

Dear SIETAR USA family,

We have sadly lost our dear Sister, friend, mentor, and leader Sherri Tapp. Sherri was an integral part of SIETAR USA leadership as the Director for Membership Outreach and Development.

As we process this devastating heartbreak both individually and as a community, let us pause to reflect on Sherri's impactful legacy in all her work. 

A reminder to take time for your own self-care. Let's reach out and lean on each other where and when needed, and when we feel we are ready, to be available to hold those spaces for others.

We will be creating messages that will no doubt never communicate enough how privileged we have been to have Sherri in our lives. Please submit any ideas you might have to make such tributes meet that high standard. Thank you.

SIETAR USA TAKES A STAND ON RACISM

Recognizing that this could be a very long list, we would like to bring into the room, the name of George Floyd. In the strongest possible terms, SIETAR USA:

  • Believes Black Lives Matter
  • Condemns police violence
  • Supports peaceful protest
  • Values authentic and honest dialog
Racial injustice is embedded into U.S. culture and there is no single solution that will take care of everything that needs to be changed and improved. We need to begin by eliminating racism in our own SIETAR USA house. We need to listen to each other—in a learning mode—and be willing to explore ways we can make effective changes. READ MORE
