Alpha Sigma Tau is excited to announce that Dr. Kristin Walker-Donnelly (Alpha Lambda 2000/Radford) will join the National Panhellenic Conference Board of Directors for 2025-2027.

The NPC Board of Directors oversees the affairs of the National Panhellenic Conference, which is made up of 26 member organizations. Their responsibilities include establishing corporate policy, setting strategic direction, securing resources, and monitoring organizational performance.

The NPC Board of Directors consists of seven members: five elected by the NPC’s Council of Delegates and two appointed on a rotating basis by their member organizations. As part of this rotation, the Sorority has appointed Kristin to serve in this role. She is only the second Alpha Sigma Tau ever to serve on the NPC Board. Previously, Cynthia Peckhart McCrory (Alpha Alpha 1962/Ball State) served as NPC Chair from 1983 to 1985. 

Although Kristin will represent all NPC sorority women during her time on the board, not just her Alpha Sigma Tau Sisters, we are proud to see her at the forefront of shaping NPC’s strategic direction and enhancing the sorority experience.
