 A Message from YOUR new ISPN President,
Daniel Wesemann, DNP, MSW, PMHNP, APRN, FAANP

Hello from YOUR ISPN president!

It was great to see everyone at the recently concluded annual conference in New Orleans and I hope that everyone can make plans to attend the 2026 conference! I am excited to use this upcoming year to build on the progress that Dr Barb Peterson (immediate past president) started. As your ISPN president I am committed to the mission of ISPN to promote advanced psychiatric-mental health nursing leadership in practice, research, education, and policy worldwide. However, these are difficult times in which losses and the fear of further losses haunt our daily thoughts. As worldwide leaders I am INSPIRED by each of you, and I want to share your inspiration with the ISPN membership at large. I am going to restart a membership spotlight where I will ask ISPN members to share how they inspire and what inspires them. So, review the acronym below and let’s focus on the light of inspiration and not the darkness around us.

**I** - Involve patients 
**N** - Nurture therapeutic relationships 
**S** - Support recovery 
**P** - Promote mental wellness 
**I** - Integrate holistic approaches 
**R** - Respect individuality 
**E** - Empower through education

 The IMIN Mentoring Program

The ISPN Mentoring Initiative Navigator Program, or IMIN, is a capacity building project started in 2014 and sponsored by the ISPN Membership Committee. The IMIN model was designed by Dr. Beth Bonham with two aims: to increase an involved membership in ISPN by connecting new members with seasoned ISPN members; and to facilitate leadership succession planning by mentoring members into leadership positions.

The seasoned ISPN member who volunteers to mentor through participation in IMIN may meet the new member initially at the annual conference and share time with the new member that may include meeting for coffee, planning dinner, and introducing the new member to the wider network of ISPN members. The mentor/mentee model can be implemented in any way that is comfortable for the dyad and for any length of time the dyad decides – activities may range from an occasional telephone or email check in to a structured clinical supervision. IMIN is a voluntary program for any members as well as a pathway to quickly connect new members with the larger organization.
