2016–17 Annual Report

2016 annual report

message from our

Natalie Moore Averette Gamma Beta National President

national president It’s hard to believe yet another year has passed, and the events of 2016 are now part of our

rich heritage…one hundred and nineteen years of building our Tri Sigma Empire! The passing of another year means it is time to review the Annual Report—the formal publication that

provides an overview of activities, operations and financials about the previous year. It’s not just numbers and charts; it’s like a portrait, depicting our outcomes and successes and illustrating our grand ideas about how we empower women. It’s also an opportunity to reflect on the life

and times of Tri Sigma during the previous year…a time to remember our accomplishments and experiences…the challenges we faced and successes we achieved.

In 2016, we remained focused on growth, membership, leadership, character education,

marketing and communication, fiscal strength, service and philanthropic engagement. It’s

exciting to realize our growth, made most obvious by the fact that the number of collegiate

members has grown to 9,000 women. Our chapter roster also increased as we installed the

Theta Theta Chapter at Oakland University; redeveloped the Delta Chi Chapter at the University of Virginia; rechartered the Gamma Iota Chapter at the University of Massachusetts–Amherst;

and we made Tri Sigma history by installing our first chapter in Alabama, the Theta Iota Chapter at Auburn University.

I’ve only just begun to share a few of the highlights, so take a moment to relax and relish the moments and appreciate the achievements of Tri Sigma. Delve into the pages which recap

2016 and relive the experiences again through this “year in review”, fondly known as the Annual Report. You will certainly see evidence of our longstanding commitment to promoting perpetual bonds of friendship, developing strong women of character and inspiring high standards of ethical conduct, while also empowering Tri Sigma women to reach their highest potential.

Tri Sigma is making a difference in the lives of our members and we will keep moving ever forward, enhancing this incredible tapestry of our sisterhood. Our core values of wisdom,

power, faith, hope and love will serve as the compass for our steadfast and devoted members,

dedicated volunteers and professional staff, and will be the driving forces which will continue to guide us along the path of success. Thank you Sigma sisters and friends for all that you do in making Tri Sigma all that it is and all that it can be, and just think…the best is yet to come!

All the best to you,

Natalie

“I learned not just new information, but how to apply that

information. The communication session was truly relevant and

zeroed in on a key problem of chapter life. I cannot wait to apply it to my chapter and train the rest of our chapter leaders.”

transitioned our iMIS support from Armstrong to CSI. As a result, we required a new, updated server to house our iMIS database, Chapter Portal, RiSE, Essential Sigma and Recruitment Toolkit.

The new provider was able to set up three dedicated servers that meet the technical needs of the Organization.

The new Sigma Connect launched in conjunction with the integrations to our member database allowing for us to keep

and maintain current information. Member feedback on Sigma Connect has allowed us to make updates and continue to improve the platform.

Chapter Portal

Efforts began in the summer of 2016 to create the new Chapter Portal; a product built for chapter-level management in mind.

Chapter Portal officially launched with Collegiate Chapters

in January 2017. Chapter Officers are able to manage their

membership and chapter operations. National Officers and

volunteers working with our Collegiate Chapters are able to view reports on the chapters they support. Chapter Portal will launch with our Alumnae Chapters in the fall of 2017.
