Phi Mu Foundation Names Executive Director Anji Roe Wood, Gamma Nu

Anji HeadshotThe Phi Mu Foundation Board of Trustees is Pleased to Announce Anji Roe Wood as its new Executive Director

Anji comes to the Foundation from Phi Mu Fraternity, where she served as Director of Alumnae Engagement. In this role, Anji successfully managed the alumnae department, including the ‘Forever Faithful’ campaign, which focuses on increasing alumnae support for critical Fraternity leadership programming. Anji also led the charge on increasing engagement opportunities for Phi Mu alumnae across the country with the successful launch of the ‘Cocktails and Conversations’ tour in 2015, focused on celebrating our sisterhood and the achievements of vibrant Phi Mu women.

Prior to joining the Phi Mu National Headquarters team, Anji was Director of Marketing and Communications for the Southeastern Council of Foundations (SECF) in Atlanta. During her time at SECF, she played a significant role in cultivating relationships between the council and hundreds of philanthropic organizations and leaders throughout the Southeast.

“We are pleased to welcome Anji to our Phi Mu Foundation team. Her passion for Phi Mu, energy and experience is exactly what we need to further our mission of the lifetime development of women,” says Phi Mu Foundation President Diane Eggert, Zeta Iota. “I’d like to thank Trustees Andie Burchett Kash, Delta Eta, and Pamela Kropf Wadsworth, Eta Iota, for leading the Search Committee efforts. Through their guidance and dedication to this process, we were able to successfully complete our search with merit.”  

As a member of Phi Mu and a current headquarters employee, Anji has a unique understanding and appreciation for the importance of a solid working relationship between Phi Mu Fraternity and Phi Mu Foundation. Her experience will be paramount in enhancing the collaborative efforts between the two entities.

“I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work in partnership with our leadership, staff, volunteers and donors to serve the Foundation and share the inspiring stories of its powerful impact,” says Wood. “With the strategic plan as our roadmap, and the mission as our guide, there is no limit to what Phi Mu Foundation can accomplish in support of our vibrant membership.”

A returned Peace Corps Volunteer, Anji received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Broadcast Communications from Elon University and now resides in Newnan, Georgia, with her husband and two children. Anji will be based out of the Phi Mu National Headquarters in nearby Peachtree City, Georgia, and will report to the Phi Mu Foundation Board of Trustees.

The 2016 M3 Campaign Begins Now!

There’s no better way to celebrate our 164 years of Phi Mu sisterhood than by honoring the leadership of our Founders – Mary Myrick Daniel, Mary DuPont Lines and Martha Hardaway Redding – with the 6th annual M3 Campaign.

For the 31 days of March, collegians, alumnae and friends of Phi Mu are invited to support our sisterhood with a gift of $18.52 or more to the M3 Campaign in honor of a collegiate chapter of their choice…and for the first time this year, alumnae and friends may also choose to designate their contribution in honor of an alumnae chapter/community. The M3 Campaign raises funds for Phi Mu Foundation, which in turn furthers the lifetime development of women through Phi Mu’s leadership, scholarship, philanthropic and educational programs, and historical preservation.

Collegiate chapters who participate in the 2016 M3 Campaign at 100% (meaning 100% of the active members in their chapter each give $18.52 to M3) will receive a custom M3 tank top for each member just in time for summer!m3 tank final edited

Alumnae and friends who make a gift of$100 or more to M3 in honor of the collegiate chapter and alumnae chapter/community of their choice, will receive a Phi Mu Foundation Lunch Clutch.lunch tote

Both the collegiate chapter and the alumnae chapter/community with the largest contribution to the M3 Campaign will receive special recognition in the Aglaia and at the 2016 National Convention, in addition to an exclusive sisterhood event hosted by the next Phi Mu National President and Phi Mu Foundation President.

Mark your calendars for March 1 and don’t miss your chance to be part of something incredible! In the meantime, keep up with the latest on the M3 Campaign on social media.

It’s hard to believe that the holidays are already quickly approaching! This time of year seems to always spark something inside of us…something that wills us to share with those around us just how much they mean to us…and to give thanks for how they’ve impacted our lives. Throughout the month of November, we’ll be promoting a social media campaign called #insPHIred…and we need your help!

As part of the #insPHIred campaign, we’ll feature inspiring stories every Tuesday from our social media accounts, and ask that our followers also share on social media what or who in Phi Mu inspires them the most throughout the week. Maybe it’s a sister who has helped you through a difficult time, has impacted your life in some way, or maybe you’re inspired by the chapter you’re working with and how far they’ve come. We want to invite you to join us in sharing your #insPHIred story (or stories!) throughout the month of November, to help this campaign touch Phi Mus near and far. Please use photos or videos to help tell your story, and tag us @PhiMuFoundation so that we can retweet, regram and share!

The campaign will culminate with a call to action from Phi Mu Foundation on Giving Tuesday on December 1, to honor our sisterhood and the women who have #insPHIred you with a $10 honor gift in their name to Phi Mu Foundation. We will send a special, limited edition #insPHIred digital greeting to each sister who is honored as part of the campaign. But you don’t have to wait for Giving Tuesday to make an #insPHIred gift! Click here to give today in honor of the Phi Mu who has #insPHIred you.

With your help, we could reach thousands of women with the #insPHIred campaign and remind them why our bond is so unique! Let’s spread some rose and white cheer together this holiday season!
