Farewell to Laurie Rosenberger, Executive Assistant
On July 26, 2023, current and former staff gathered to celebrate Laurie Rosenberger as she bid farewell to Phi Delta Theta General Headquarters, where she has served for thirty-five years. Laurie joined the General Headquarters staff in 1988 and is retiring later this summer. As executive assistant, she supported the executive vice president, Foundation president, chief operating officer, and the General Council and Foundation Trustees. She managed the General Headquarters office and maintained various Headquarters records and archives, as well as policy and procedural information.
âAs a Headquarters staff member for over thirty years, Iâve observed many young Phis grow into their roles as staff members and develop into successful professionals. This is what Phi Delta Theta strives to afford all its members through their Fraternity experience. Itâs rewarding to watch them thrive and pursue their endeavors with confidence and enthusiasm.â Laurie shared.
Laurie and her husband, David, live in rural Indiana on a family-operated farm and have two adult sons, Alex and Rob. She enjoys art, antiques, Italian cuisine, and spending time with family. Congratulations on your retirement, Laurie!
