During the Foundation Business Session this summer, members elected five women to the Phi Mu Foundation Board of Trustees for the 2018-2022 term, rounding out the 12-member board of volunteers who guide the Foundation forward. These women joined the sitting Trustees in electing Foundation President Pamela Gaines, ΕΑ, and Corporate Secretary/Treasurer Jennifer Chapman Joyner, ΑΙ. Also appointed to the board were Fraternity National President and Foundation Chairman of the Board Andie Burchett Kash, ΔΗ, and Fraternity National Vice President Beth Denney Ward, ΔΗ.

 

 

Together, these women have served Phi Mu Fraternity in nearly every volunteer capacity possible, including as National Presidents and National Council members, Area Membership Directors, Chapter Advisers, Chapter Association Presidents, Chapter Consultants, Graduate Counselors and so much more! Their incredible experience is marked by the decades of servant leadership they have provided to Phi Mu members and now bring with them to the Foundation. This group of talented and driven women is prepared to take the Foundation to new heights over the next biennium, and we want to take the opportunity over the next several weeks to introduce each of them to you.

 

Join us as we celebrate “Trustee Tuesdays” and feature one Trustee each week on our website and social media, beginning next Tuesday, November 13. In the meantime, make sure you’re following us @PhiMuFoundation on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram so that you don’t miss a thing!

Thank you for joining Phi Mu women, families and friends for the second annual 18 Hours & 52 Minutes of Giving!

Your gift helps to ensure this sisterhood and the Foundation’s impact will continue to grow and empower women for generations to come. Phi Mu Foundation Staff and Board of Trustees sends our immense gratitude and sincere appreciation to you for investing in the Phi Mu experience and our sisters with your generous support.

We are pleased to introduce you to the 2018-19 Phi Mu Foundation Collegiate Leadership Council! Selected to serve on the council because of their incredible philanthropic leadership within their chapter and on their campus, these women will engage their peers in supporting the mission and work of the Foundation on social media and in person with presentations at nearby collegiate and alumnae chapters. Council members are individually mentored by the Board of Trustees and will have the opportunity throughout the academic year to share their thoughts on collegiate engagement, cultivation and stewardship, as well as share insight on the Foundation’s fundraising efforts. As we look toward the future of the Foundation, the council’s input on engagement and stewardship is critical as we prepare for Generation Z (born in the late 1990s and later) to enter the workforce and make up more than 25 percent of the U.S. population by 2020!

To our sisters and friends who live and work in the communities affected by Hurricane Michael – we hope that you are safe and that recovery efforts are underway soon to help mitigate any damage caused by this devastating storm.
