SOT Endowment Fund—Investing in the Future of
the Society
Since the passage of the Endowment Fund by-laws change by full members
of SOT in January 2007, the newly appointed Endowment Fund Board has
overseen
contributions of more than $100,000 in three months. The Board is chaired
by Roger O. McClellan and members include I.
Glenn Sipes, James E. Klaunig, Rick
G. Schnellmann, Jacqueline H. Smith, Kendall
B. Wallace, Linda S. Birnbaum, and ex officio
members Norbert E. Kaminski, James A. Popp,
and Shawn D. Lamb.
Among the early accomplishments of this board was establishing Donor
Recognition Levels (see contributors below). The fund provides a mechanism
for members
and friends of SOT to offer financial support through gifts and bequests
to complement the Society's revenue from dues and other sources.
Contributions were initially requested from the Endowment
Fund Board, the Council, and Past Presidents. By March 21, 2007, Dr.
McClellan was able to report ". . . that all of the members of
the Endowment Fund Board and Council have contributed at the 00Circle
Recognition Level. In addition, more than half of the living Past Presidents
have
contributed at the Paracelsus Circle Level. Indeed many of these individuals
have contributed or made pledges of $5,000 or more qualifying them as
Lifetime Members of the Paracelsus Circle."
