Headquarters Staff Saluted for Years of Service

Eight members of the staff of the Center for Excellence, Phi Theta Kappa's International Headquarters in Jackson, Mississippi, were honored this week for landmark years of service.

Each received a pin commemorating their anniversary as a Headquarters staff member.

"Thank everyone for all that you do - whether this is your first year, or your 30th year, or somewhere in between," said Dr. Shirley Gordon, Chairman of the Phi Theta Kappa Board of Directors. "This staff is the group that has made, and continues to make, Phi Theta Kappa the success that it is. Thank you from the entire Board."

Leading the list of honorees was Executive Director Rod Risley, who is marking his 30th year as a Phi Theta Kappa staff member.

Celebrating 15 years of service were Senior Director of Operations Saralyn Quinn and Director of Programs Jennifer Stanford.

Melissa Mayer, Public Relations Officer, was recognized for 10 years of service.

Achieving five years of service were Lea Ann Bethany, Director of Software Services, and Brandi McNeil, Director of Chapter Programs.

Marking three years of service were Creative Director Brian Koranda and Software Engineer John Steffens.

"Much recognition has come to Phi Theta Kappa and its leaders in the past year," said Risley, addressing the entire staff. "Understand that you, the staff, and what you do every day, are the reasons for these recognitions. Thank you, Headquarters staff, for all you do for this organization."
