Member Profile:
Joan Freilich, Former CFO,
Consolidated Edison, Inc.
When the CFO of Consolidated
Edison, Inc. in New York retired in 1996, Joan Freilich
was waiting in the wings as a candidate well-groomed
for the position.
"It was
a big accomplishment for a woman. There have been a
number of women CFOs of utilities since then, but I
was the first in a major utility."

Mark
your calendars!
Beta Gamma Sigma has designated October 27, 2012 as
an international Day of Service.
 BGS
is not partnering with a specific organization for this,
but we’re encouraging members to find worthwhile
causes in their own respective communities. Start thinking
about how you want to volunteer now!
We also believe that things
are done best when done together. So we hope you gather
a few of your friends and family—BGS members or
not—to join you in in giving back. The Society’s
collegiate chapters AND alumni chapters are being encouraged
to coordinate a time for BGS members to serve together
on October 27th, which means that as an added bonus,
this could be an excellent opportunity to connect with
other lifetime members of Beta Gamma Sigma in your area!
BGS is a great Society filled with outstanding
individuals. We look forward to hearing about all the
things that you accomplish on October 27th. |

BGS members! We want to
track your community service hours throughout the Society's
centennial year. Seem demanding? It's really not, because
we know a lot of you are already doing something
in your communities. But if you never log
your hours on Tuttidaré, we will have no way
of knowing about it!
 Attention
BGS Members:
As an extra incentive to "Give
Back," all BGS members who log
their our hours on Tuttidaré
will be entered into a drawing for
an IdeaPad Tablet courtesy of Lenovo.
Log
in today and BGS and Lenovo could
soon be giving back to you!
The
IdeaPad Tablet A1 is a compact yet
rugged multimedia device that runs
on the Android™ 2.3 operating
system. Optimized for entertainment,
the 7" A1 gives you the brilliant
graphics and processing muscle you
need to connect in style. |

Would you take a few minutes
today to log into your account and document the hours

BGS History: |
August
1937:
Because of the Society's lack of funds during
the on-going Great Depression, T.R. Snavely, grand
president of BGS from 1936-39, was asked to pay
his own way from Virginia to California for the
BGS Convention. During that Convention the induction
fee was reduced from $10 to $6.
Five
years later, the induction fee was further reduced
to $5. |
