President

Leads Executive Council meetings, Chapter meetings, and rituals. As a non-voting member of every committee, it is the President?s job to constantly ensure that the chapter is meeting all of its goals and self-set expectations. In order to achieve those goals, she works closely with a local Chapter Advisor and an expert Regional Coordinator. She emphasizes communication while guaranteeing confidentiality and strives to make herself an available resource for all members. Gamma Phi Beta International also provides chapter Presidents with the opportunity to attend two leadership conferences each year. Enthusiasm, a great attitude, orating skills, and undeniable dedication are just some of the many qualities we find in our Presidents.

Financial Vice-President

The expert of chapter finances. The Financial Vice-President works year around providing the chapter with affordable dues and a working budget. She ensures that money is spent efficiently so that members can literally see how dues are being spent. This year we have begun the use of a service called Automated Payment Highway (APH). Members pay dues online and APH allows for invoices to be sent directly to each member, increasing the number of ways that dues can be paid, as well as speed by which financial information can be processed. The Financial Vice-President often works with members in confidence to create a payment plan that makes sense for them. The Financial Vice-President submits monthly paperwork to our International Headquarters. Additionally the Housing Chairwoman is part of the Financial Vice-President's Department. Both women are active members of our House Corporation Board where we collaborate with local Alumnae to make any housing changes or improvements.
