Educational Trust Staff

From working straight out of college in Major League Baseball to serving as Executive Director of the Educational Trust, Laura brings with her a wealth of experience and knowledge. Throughout the past fifteen years, she has fine tuned her skills in sales, marketing, public relations, event planning, and fundraising while working for the Phi Sigma Sigma Foundation, OmegaFi, and ultimately, Chi Phi. However, her love of baseball has never left as her mission is to watch (preferably a Red Sox) game at every major league stadium in. When not out on the road meeting with Chi Phi Brothers, Laura enjoys spending time at the beach, reading, and learning to play golf. Just know that when you meet Laura, she will always spend a few minutes talking about the love of her life: her dogs Murphy & Oscar.

As a proud educator for almost twenty years, Erin comes to the Trust with extensive knowledge in communications and programming. Her experience in designing curricula for various high school and college courses in multiple institutions throughout Georgia proved beneficial upon entry into working with Greek Life. Prior to joining the Educational Trust, Erin was a member of the Fraternity Staff assisting with risk management, educational programming, and alumni development. She now brings these collective skills and experiences to the Trust in hopes of inspiring people to give back. Erin spends most of her free time with her husband Adam doting on their two amazing girls, Evelyn and Olivia, and fur-baby Hershey. When she gets a moment of peace she will likely be found curled up with a good book, generally something by Jane Austen, or jotting down ideas for a children’s book she hopes to publish one day.

A member of the Chi Phi Fraternity since 2013, Dan began his nonprofit career as a member of the Fraternity Staff from 2016-2021 working with communications, marketing, member education, and alumni relations. His experience also includes development work with organizations addressing food and housing insecurity as well as supporting programs for public schools. In a volunteer capacity, Dan served as President of the Alpha-Chi Alumni Association from 2021-2023, on the Educational Trust’s Board of Advisors from 2021-2023, and as Grand Epsilon of the Chi Phi Fraternity from 2023-2024. One of his many passions as a staff member and volunteer has been working with the National Archives and the two centuries of Chi Phi’s heritage which it contains. Between his trips to visit Brothers and celebrate Chi Phi’s Bicentennial, Dan enjoys spending his time with his human and K-9 nieces and nephews, visiting historic sites, and trying out new local restaurants and breweries throughout Ohio.
