We are pleased to launch today the 2015-16 Phi Mu Foundation Annual Report: Investing with Passion and Pride. As you flip through the pages, it’s clear to see how loyal donors just like you have made an incredible impact on the lives of thousands of women across the country. Through your gifts, we are empowering our members to be strong leaders, scholars and philanthropists!
We are pleased to announce five newly-elected members to the Phi Mu Foundation Board of Trustees, as well as new officers, for the 2016-2018 biennium. Voted into office during the Phi Mu Foundation Business Session at the 54th Phi Mu National Convention in Chicago, IL, were: Delicia Bryant Arnold, Kappa Omega; Robin White Fanning, Beta Iota; Pamela Ferguson-Gaines, Epsilon Alpha; Jennifer Jardine, Beta Tau; and Jennifer Chapman Joyner, Alpha Iota.
These women will join six Trustees currently serving an alternating term: National President and Chairman of the Board Beth Maxson Monnin, Rho; Kris Shetler Bridges, Delta Nu; Diane Eggert, Zeta Iota; Jennifer Free, Kappa Nu; Jean Morgan, Eta Beta; and Sharon Staley, Alpha Chi. Rounding out the board as its 12th member is Phi Mu Fraternity Vice President Lynn Storlien-McGraw, Zeta Sigma, appointed by National Council.
Following the convention, the Board of Trustees elected Past National President Kris Shetler Bridges, Delta Nu, to serve as Foundation President and Jennifer Free, Kappa Nu, as Corporate Secretary/Treasurer.

This year, we are combining Phi Mu Foundation Marketplace and the Trestrella Auction to create an exciting, more impactful Sisterhood Auction! Since the auction is open to the convention body, all donations and price points are welcome!
As in the past, we’ll rely on the generosity of our donors to help us solicit auction items for this exciting event! If you are interested in curating an item for the auction, please fill out this form and send a photo of the item to Foundation Stewardship & Engagement Coordinator Mary Askew at maskew@phimu.org by Thursday, June 30. Sending in your information by the June 30 deadline will ensure your giving levels are updated and proper donor recognition can be given at Convention.
Donors will be responsible for bringing their item(s) to Convention and checking them in with Foundation staff upon arrival on July 5. This year, we request items are unwrapped and not in a basket due to shipping issues in the past.
All proceeds from the Sisterhood Auction directly benefit our mission to further the lifetime development of Phi Mu women by providing essential support of leadership, scholarship, philanthropic and educational programs, and historic preservation.
Thank you for your continued support of Phi Mu Foundation! We look forward to seeing you in #PhiTown!
