The Foundation has no full or part time employees.
The Deke Foundation’s assets are managed through an account with Raymond James Financial (Tuscaloosa, AL office). Financial reports are prepared by the accounting firm Greek Resource Services, based in Tuscaloosa, AL. Legal matters are typically referred to Fraternal Law Partners, Cincinnati, OH. That firm is not on retainer but is generally who the Deke Foundation relies on for legal opinions about governance, procedures, etc.
Grants Committee
to consider grant requests from Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity or other requesters, and make recommendations to the full Board. Chairman: (TBD)
Investment Committee
to oversee the Foundation’s investment decisions and recommend investment strategies to the full Board. Chairman: Stanford McMillan.
The Committees will make recommendations to the Board, but with regard to governance, it has been the practice of the Foundation for all major decisions to be made by the full Board, rather than by Committees.
