Among the many distinctions achieved during Linda’s tenure, Colorado is:

  • The first and only chapter that has had eight consecutive annual gatherings
  • The first and only chapter that averages 10% of their alums at these gatherings
  • The first and only chapter that bought a commemorative brick in Friars Plaza
  • The first chapter that had new QU President, Bob Gervasi, as a guest speaker
  • The first chapter with a web page on the QU web site
  • The first chapter with a Chair & Vice Chair
