NDSU’s FarmHouse chapter will host the FarmHouse Foundation Board of Trustees during their fall board meeting in Fargo Nov. 10-12.
The trustees will dine with current chapter members and tour the new chapter house on Thursday, Nov. 10.
The foundation board advances and supports the FarmHouse mission of “Building the Leaders of Tomorrow” by making planning and policy decisions. It is responsible for financing and fundraising, monitoring implementation and promoting goodwill and support for the foundation and fraternity. The board meets twice each year around North America, plus at the biennial Conclave of FarmHouse Fraternity.
The board is comprised of 13 FarmHouse alumni from across the country, including former NDSU student Jeffery Topp, ’82.
Allison Rickels, foundation executive director, said, “Coming to the NDSU campus and Fargo is an excellent choice because of the numerous dedicated FarmHouse alumni in the area, as well the opportunity for us to see first‐hand the new FarmHouse chapter house. Our foundation is so pleased to be a part of their vital housing capital campaign and make grants possible to build their impressive new living/learning home on campus. Our trustees are looking forward to seeing the direct impact of our foundation grants in person.”
