Lead. Educate. Inspire.<br />
Supporting the Heart of <strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong><br />
Leadership.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are at least 20 different leadership philosophies.<strong>The</strong> list of world problems is far<br />
longer. Leadership takes many forms and requires extraordinary skill, tireless effort,<br />
and loyalty to the cause. <strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong> provides the opportunity for each member to<br />
explore the dynamics of a team and to lead. Each of <strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong>’s 8,845 collegiate<br />
members deserves the training to develop at least one leadership style as her own.<br />
<strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> helps make this possible by funding leadership training<br />
because instilling <strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong>’s values provides the baseline for each member to<br />
develop integrity, problem solving and critical thinking skills. After all, she needs<br />
to understand the qualities of a good leader if she is to be one.<br />
Education.<br />
Education is more than teaching and learning – it is imparting knowledge. Knowledge,<br />
understanding and education are critical to the success of all leaders, especially in<br />
a diverse and highly connected world.<strong>The</strong> “information age” is only meaningful to<br />
those who can process information, analyze it, and transform it into knowledge that<br />
can be utilized effectively.To everyone else, the information age is simply overload.<br />
Providing education and access to it is vital to the next generation of leaders and<br />
<strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> works to ensure these financial resources are available to<br />
<strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong> members. Education is truly empowerment.<br />
Inspiration.<br />
Empowering <strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong> members of all ages with education and training to be future<br />
leaders is the greatest gift anyone can give another – it is the gift that can never be taken<br />
away, the investment that yields endless returns. Support from <strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
is the inspiration that <strong>Sigma</strong> <strong>Kappa</strong> leaders need because a leader’s work is never done.<br />
An education is never finished.<br />
Every one of us needs<br />
a little inspiration now and again.<br />
Preferably now.
