Annual Meeting 2009
The Annual meeting of the DeltaChi Educational Foundation took place in early October during the All-Florida Founders Day weekend in Tampa, FL.
 
Old and new business were discussed during the meeting at the Marshall Student Center on the Campus of USF. Board members also had the chance to vote to bring in new members and to vote for others to continue on the board. Most of the discussion centered on direction and improvements to the Chapter Housing Initiatives (E-CHI). The board agreed that further refinements to the program were needed to assist chapters in their endeavors to provide better accommodations to Delta Chi undergraduates. The DCEF will work with legal advisor Chuck Mancuso to refine E-CHI documents.
 
New Members of the board:
Thaddeus A. Tatum, III SMU ‘68
Micheal J. Hebert Bryant ‘98
Rod E. Arnold Texas A&M ‘88
 
After that business was finished, board members then voted for officers of the foundation.
New officers include:
President:
  Patrick F. Weber Oklahoma ’87
Vice President:
  Steven R. Michels Marquette ’87
Treasurer:
  Thaddeus A. Tatum, III SMU ’71   
Secretary:
  Donald L. LaPlante USC FAC
Member At-Large:
  James M. Marascio Bryant ’98    
 
A smooth transition followed with the new Executive Committee members vowing to continue the good work and policies set forth by the outgoing group.
