Thank You Hanno Mott!

Hanno D. Mott (Omicron/Cincinnati, ’52) recently completed his service on the SAM Foundation Board of Directors. Hanno served on the Foundation board for more than 30 years and was President 2009-2020. Hanno’s service to Sigma Alpha Mu goes back more than 65 years; he first volunteered upon graduation from law school and relocation to New York City in the late 1950s when the Fraternity was headquartered in New York. In addition to his service to the Sigma Alpha Mu Foundation, Hanno served as the long-time Legal Committee Chairman, consul of the Octagon, Supreme Recorder, Vice Supreme Prior, Supreme Prior, Endowment Fund Trustee, and President of the SAM Development Corporation (SAM’s first national housing entity). In 1995 Hanno was honored with Sigma Alpha Mu’s Distinguished Service Award – he went on to continue his outstanding service for another three decades. Foundation President Bob Weiss shared the following regarding Hanno: “Some people donate their time, others their money, and others their knowledge. It’s rare to find people like Hanno Mott who donate all three for an organization.” Hanno is a member of the Sigma Alpha Mu Foundation’s Purple & White Society (lifetime giving) and Ira Lind Society (planned giving) and was honored as a Centennial Founder in 2009 for his service and contributions to the Foundation
