Women's Roundtable News

Greetings!

     I've said many times that although all ECU graduates certainly do not call NC home, they certainly make wherever they land a better place. This is particularly true of ECU Women's Roundtable members. Pick up any ECU publication as well as local and national ones and you will read about the accomplishments of our members.
    Not only are our members successful in professional and volunteer roles in their communities and beyond, they also give back to ECU. Individual memberships in the Women's Roundtable support ECU's Access Scholarship program by providing financial assistance to bright young women who otherwise might not be able to attend ECU. Since its founding, the membership of the Women's Roundtable has provided more than $50,000 for Access Scholarships. In addition, I am pleased that one of our founding members, Kay Chalk, has endowed the Kay Chalk Women's Roundtable Access Scholarship and that the Women's Roundtable board of directors is committed to endowing the Kathy A. Taft Memorial Women's Roundtable Access Scholarship in memory of founding member Kathy Taft.
     In 2013 we will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the founding of the Women's Roundtable. In honor of this event we will recognize 10 Incredible Women who will join our 107 previously recognized Incredible ECU Women. We are accepting nominations until October 1, 2012, so please take time to nominate an ECU woman! Before that, please join the Women's Roundtable for the first time or renew your membership, and get involved to find your very own individual "purple passion."
    And as always...go Pirates!
