My Commitment
My fellow Link Sisters & Foundation Members:
I have been an active member of the Links, Incorporated since my induction in
the Spring of 1998. During that time I have served on two other National non-
profit Board of Directors. Knowing that the buck stops with the nonprofit’s
board members, I understand the importance of keeping the public in mind at
all times. I am committed to ensuring that I accept and execute all obligations
of Board membership and do all in my power to grow the Foundation in
stature and funding.
Accountability is the very heart of a board member’s duty to the Foundation.
If elected I pledge to uphold the integrity of the Foundation through:
Adherence to the articles of incorporation;
Obedience to the laws and regulations related to the mission of
the Foundation;
Preservation of the principles and standards of the organization;
Fulfilling the fiduciary trust of board members to see that the
organization functions properly; and
Ensuring integrity of actions both personally and professionally to
ensure that the Foundation is not adversely effected.
I humbly, yet enthusiastically, ask for your support!
As stated on the website, “The Links, Incorporated has had a long tradition of
promoting and engaging in educational, civic and inter-cultural activities
to enrich the lives of members of the larger community.”
I look forward to doing my part to enhance and expand its
philanthropic endeavors through service to the Links, Foundation.
