Internal giving campaign launches with goal of 100 percent participation
You can expect a visit soon from volunteers in your area with information about the Pellissippi State Foundation's 2009-2010 Internal Campaign.
The campaign starts Monday, November 2, and runs through Friday, November 13. Campaign volunteers will pass out pledge forms and information about how you can benefit our students through Pellissippi State's scholarships, programs, endowments, building funds and so much more.
"Our goal this year is to have 100 percent participation from our faculty and staff," said Pat Myers, director of Alumni Relations and annual giving. "Annual gifts from our campus community members provide a vital component in the support of student success."
Campaign organizers have planned a celebration at the conclusion of the campaign for all faculty and staff and at each of the campuses. Also, a plaque will be presented on Employee Recognition Day in April to the council with the highest percentage of campaign participants.
"And, don't be surprised if you see some stranger people than normal at a campus near you," Myers said. "Super Snooper and crew will be out looking for clues that will lead us to record-breaking campaign numbers."
The Foundation's Internal Campaign raised $42,893 from more than 300 pledges last year, with 68 percent of employees participating. This year's campaign co-chairs are Tom Gaddis, Faculty Senate; Ann Burgess, Support Staff Council; and Audrey Williams, Administrative Council.
