Hi All!

I know some of you may already be aware, but my last day as Sigma Kappa’s Director of Publications is February 29. I have enjoyed getting to know all over you over the past few years, and I hope you will keep in touch. I’m moving to Chicago (yay!) and am very excited to start this new chapter. I’m on Facebook, so make sure you friend me if I haven’t already friended you. (YIKES, that is poor grammar)

Obviously, I am trying to find my replacement, so below is my job description. If you know anyone who would like to live in Indy and work with some fantastic women at the SK NHQ, please forward this to them and direct them to the Web site at www.sigmakappa.org for more information.

Thanks!

Cheryl Moore
