President

I was initiated in 1995 into the Zeta Alpha Chapter at Baker University in Baldwin City, Kansas where I graduated in 1999 with a Psychology Degree. After graduation, I moved to Washington, D.C. where I attended American University and graduated in 2003 with a Master's Degree in Criminal Justice. I moved back to Kansas City in 2005 and I am currently work for a large Law Firm in Kansas City in the the Intellectual Property Division. For my free time, I love taking my adorable dog, Toby, for walks around the neighborhood or going to the movies with friends. In addition to Alumnae President, I am also working as Membership Advisor to the Zeta Alpha Chapter. I am excited to be involved with the executive board and to meet all the wonderful Phi Mu sisters in our area. I am proud of all the activities we do for our local CMN hospitals and I am looking forward to all the fun events we have planned for the year! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns about the alumnae chapter! |

I was initiated into the Zeta Alpha chapter of Phi Mu at Baker University in Baldwin City, KS on November 7th of 2000. I graduated from Baker University with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism. I've finished my Masters in Journalism, specifically on Public Relations and Advertising, at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. In between my undergraduate degree and my masters, I worked in advertising at the Ottawa Herald Newspaper in Ottawa, KS. I currently live in Lawrence, KS with my roommate, Heather Huninghake (our VP of Membership). I also am a member of the Kansas Press Association and am involved in the J-School at KU. I am a Mary Kay independent beauty consultant as well. I also work full time as an account manager for a technology company. I love to read, write, work out, and enjoy hanging out with my roommate and spending time with my fiance. Other than that, I love everything that is Phi Mu and hope to work for Phi Mu headquarters someday. Any questions about the calendar please feel free to email me. |

I was a Zeta Alpha at Baker University. I am from the pledge class of 2000. This fall will be my first year of teaching; I am a second grade teacher at State Street Elementary in Topeka, KS. I am super-excited about starting my career! I live in Lawrence with my sorority sister, Amanda Miller. In my spare time I enjoy being with friends and family, shopping, working out, watching reality TV, working at Mr. Goodcents and doing artsy things. I am excited to be involved in GKC Alumni Chapter and look forward to a great year of fun and new friends. |

Treasurer
|
This is my 3rd year on the executive board in various positions, but enjoying meeting everyone and participating in the variety of events we have to offer. I was initiated into Zeta Lambda in 1997 at Northwest Missouri State University and graduated in 2000 with an MIS degree. I’m looking forward to encouraging other Zeta Lambda participation in the alumnae chapter this year. I currently work for Cerner Corporation but have lived and traveled many places since graduation. As treasurer, I’m responsible for keeping chapter funds and dues up to date and reporting with nationals. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to ask. |

Secretary

This is my first year serving on the GKC Phi Mu Alumnae board. I haven't had the chance to experience many events so far, but being a part of the planning and becoming active with Phi Mu again has been very exciting. I was initiated into the Zeta Lambda chapter at Northwest Missouri State in the fall of 1997. I graduated in 2001 with a degree in Secondary Business Education. I taught for five years after graduating, but now stay home with my two kids. I am currently in charge of taking roll, welcoming new members to our chapter, and reporting to nationals. I am looking forward to reconnecting with other Phi Mu sisters, and I hope to see you at an event soon! |

Newsletter Editor
|
I am starting my 3rd year as the Newsletter Editor for the Greater Kansas City Alumnae Chapter. I was initiated into the Zeta Alpha chapter at Baker University in 1997 and graduated from with an elementary education degree in December of 2001. I am currently serving as the pastor at Denton United Methodist Church in Denton, KS while I continue to work toward completing my Master of Divinity degree. I have also served as the Ritual Chair for the Denver Alumnae Chapter. As Newsletter Editor, I hope to increase communications with Phi Mu ladies in the Greater Kansas City Area. I also plan to send Evite e-mails about GKC Alumnae Chapter events. Please feel free to e-mail me with ideas for the newsletters, announcements, and/or addresses of our sisters in the area (e-mail or postal). |

Heart to Heart
|
I am a 1975 initiate of Zeta Alpha Chapter. As a legacy, Phi Mu and her women have been a part of my life since I was a child. I have spent many years since college working with the collegiate chapter at Baker University and her alumnae in a number of different capacities. Living in Baldwin City gives me the opportunity to keep the alumnae chapter in front of the collegiate chapter and I look forward to representing our chapter with the women of other nearby chapters. |

Philanthropy
|
This is my first year on the executive board, and I am really excited. The philanthropy chair is a new seat on the board, and I can’t wait to get everyone pumped up about CMN and all the other great organizations we can help out around the area. I was initiated into the Zeta Alpha chapter of Phi Mu at Baker University in 1998. I graduated from Baker University with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. I coordinate 3 day programs for adults with developmental disabilities, and I absolutely love it. I have been doing this since I graduated from Baker in 2001. I have been married for 4 years to my husband, Eric, and we have a rambunctious 6 year old boy, Malaki. Other than serving as the philanthropy chair, I keep myself busy by keeping up with my husband and son, serving on the PTO, and hanging out with my friends and family. |

Web Administrator

Web site design is my hobby and I enjoy the creativity that comes with it. I was initiated in 1996 into the Zeta Alpha Chapter at Baker University in Baldwin City, Kansas where I graduated in 1997 with an International Business Degree. After working for several years in my field, I decided that computers and programming was my calling. Currently I work at Children's Mercy Hospital Downtown as a Software Applications Supervisor. I am hoping to reach new and old members who are looking to rejoin the Phi Mu Alumnae group and also Phi Mus who are moving to the Kansas City area from all over the country. The website is a place to go for up to date information and upcoming events, as well as current announcements and reminders. It is an ever changing project. I'm very excited that our website won the Outstanding Alumnae Website award at this year's Convention! |
