As the events and General Headquarters coordinator, Renée is tasked with providing support and leadership to related strategies in regard to the events of Phi Delta Theta outlined in its strategic plan – Phi Delt 2030. Renée oversees all logistics that include registration, lodging, and travel to ensure every attendee of an event has an impactful and meaningful experience. Renée recently took on the role of overseeing the day-to-day needs of the General Headquarters building. She has been with Phi Delta Theta since 1988.

A lifelong resident of Liberty, Indiana, she enjoys spending her spare time cooking for family, being outside, participating in 5k, and traveling to new places with her husband, Kevin. She is a proud mom of two adult sons, Dalton and Dakota. Renée became the first female to become an Iron Phi at the 2014 Kleberg Emerging Leaders Institute when she completed her first 5K.

What makes Phi Delta Theta great?

“Phi Delta Theta has been a great place to work for the past 30+ years due to the family atmosphere. This is not only present with the staff but also with the alumni and undergraduates that I have worked with over the years.”
