Linda Linck of Delta Gamma Foundation elected to Glaucoma Research Foundation Board of Directors
San Francisco, CA – February 11, 2009 – Linda Linck, a 40-year Delta Gamma alum who has served in a number of Delta Gamma national offices including Vice President/Collegians, National Director of Finance, and National Director of the Art and Eye Exhibit, was elected to the Glaucoma Research Foundation (GRF) Board of Directors at the January 27 meeting of the Board in San Francisco.
Ms. Linck is an active fundraiser and GRF volunteer who has served on the GRF Development Committee and was co-chair of the 2009 Auction Committee for the 31st Anniversary Benefit. “We are grateful to Linda for her dedicated volunteer work that has helped to forge strong ties between the Glaucoma Research Foundation and the Delta Gamma Foundation,” said Deirdre Porter, Chair of the GRF Board of Directors. “We look forward to continuing to work with Linda as she brings her enthusiasm and dedication to her new role as a member of the board.”
The Delta Gamma Foundation of the Delta Gamma women’s fraternity based in Columbus, Ohio, is one of the nation’s leading advocates for sight preservation. Grants from the Delta Gamma Foundation helped underwrite the GRF website (www.glaucoma.org) redesign launched in 2005, and Delta Gamma has been a funder of the website every year since. Following the national lead, Ms. Linck encouraged local Delta Gamma chapters in Diablo Valley, Palo Alto, and San Francisco to contribute volunteer time and needed funds to GRF’s education and research programs.
