Leadership Foundation Trustees and Governance

Foundation Table

Delta Sigma Pi’s Leadership Foundation exists as a separate 501(c)3 entity that supports the Fraternity, its goals, and its members. Although dedicated to supporting the Fraternity, the Foundation remains independently governed by a Board of Trustees and a publicly available set of financial and organizational standards found in the Leadership Foundation Policies and Procedures manual.
 

How is the Leadership Foundation managed? 

With the oversight and management of a Board of Trustees, Delta Sigma Pi's Leadership Foundation
  • Maintains and reviews sound investment policies.
  • Contracts with fully vetted investment managers to maintain and increase funds and endowments while minimizing risk.
  • Keeps full accounting of all transactions.
  • Provides annual fund performance information to fund owners.
 

How is the Board of Trustees selected?

Foundation Trustees serve up to three consecutive two-year terms and are elected or re-elected at each Annual Meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Leadership Foundation. Trustees may be nominated or individuals may declare interest in serving as a trustee by contacting the Executive Vice President of the Leadership Foundation by phone at 513-523-1907 or via email.
