This title recognizes Ann’s  years of service and support for the Foundation. A member of the Charter Board of Trustees, Ann became the Foundation’s first President. Under her leadership, the Friendship Fund, Emma Harper Turner Fund and Scholarship Fund were transferred to the Foundation, the Marianne Reid Wild Society for planned giving was established and the Campaign for Arrowmont was successfully completed.

 

Ann’s exemplary leadership within the Foundation and Fraternity, her legacy of service and leadership and her personal and financial commitment are attributes to her dedication to Pi Beta Phi and reflect her qualifications as President Emerita.

 

“I am honored and will be happy to serve in that capacity,” Ann said. “[I appreciate] this lovely recognition and the opportunity to be involved again with the Foundation.”

 

Teri Champion, Executive Director of Pi Beta Phi Foundation, shared, “As the Foundation considered ways to celebrate the achievement of reaching our  20^th Anniversary, we kept coming back again and again to Ann’s exemplary service as the first President of the Foundation Board of Trustees. Ann will say that being the first President provided a great opportunity; there is no doubt that it also created numerous challenges which were all met with Ann’s indomitable spirit and gentle grace during her six-year tenure. The Foundation is very pleased to honor Ann and her leadership, which was so instrumental in the formative years of the Foundation.”

 

Ann held several leadership positions within Pi Beta Phi, including Grand Secretary and Nominating Committee Chairman for the Fraternity, as well as Foundation President and Secretary.

 

The Foundation thanks Ann for her continued dedication and welcomes her in her new role.
