He is a Senior at Baruch and he has a part-time job, but he was never distracted from contributing to this society.  Ali was always there for the Volunteering Committee meetings.  His passion for this society was recognized at the very first volunteering event of the semester, Veterans Affair Hospital.  His genuine passion for volunteering was further reflected at the Junior Achievement event.  He went on to co-project manage Habit for Humanity, and successfully coordinated the event.  He went above and beyond in meeting his induction requirements, and volunteered to be apart of our first Sigma Alpha Delta Podcast.  Ali is a very kind individual, who has heavily contributed to Sigma Alpha Delta and he has undoubtedly earned the title as the Vice Presidential Pick for Member of the Month.

Jonathan Hartig
Public Relations & Marketing Committee’s Member of the Month

There are many characteristics I look for in a good member. Hard-work, diligence, courage to try new things, charisma. These are not all the traits I look for in a good member but they should at least have a couple. On the other hand, Jonathan Hartig has all of these and more. From the moment I started working with him at Sigma’s first bake sale I saw a great member in the making. At all the bake sales he puts in so much effort that he end up out selling everyone. He has been one of the top promotions specialist and his skills are vital to every promotions effort. He has even taken up the diligent task of being the Newsletter Task Force Manager, spearheading Sigma’s first Newsletter of the Semester. It is for these reasons any more that the Public Relations & Marketing Committee recognizes Jonathan Hartig as April’s member of the month.

One should never underestimate the value of good old fashioned persistence and dedication. The Alumni Relations Committee’s member of the month for February 2010, Alan Wu, embodies just that. A second semester freshman both within the college and the organization, Alan is a self-starter with a positive attitude. He never hesitates to ask a question or tackle the task at hand right away. His knack and enthusiasm for getting things done has netted him greater responsibility within the Alumni Relations Committee as he pioneers the Multimedia Director position, working with his fellow members to become an effective news source for our alumni. Alan continues to volunteer and serve as a biographer as well, recently completing a new alumni profile. Don’t let his mild manner fool you – this go-getter will reach for the stars.

John Chung
Events Committee’s Member of the Month

As a person who is already extremely busy as the President of MUN, John Chung is still able to dedicate himself to Sigma and the Events Management Committee. Very early on in winter break, John became a catering specialist. Almost immediately, he stepped up and took the time out to learn more about the role. He worked together with the Vice Chair of Finance to help Sigma secure five catering bids, which seems like a record. John also attend an E-Board meeting, where he learned more about how the society is ran and gave his input on various ideas. John is a very outspoken individual, who is never afraid to ask questions or state his opinions about anything. Whenever I need help with anything, I know I can always approach John. John sets an example for the other members with his dedication, motivation, and commitment to the society.

Tiffany Gibbs
Public Relations & Marketing Committee’s Member of the Month

As a committee Chairman, one thing I value above all characteristics is reliability. Many people say they have this trait but very few actually display this. One individual that I acknowledged very early on with this trait was Tiffany Gibbs. At our first Info Session, she was the first prospective member to approach me and immediately inquired about the time-consuming position of Internal Communicator. From that day on Tiffany has been my most reliable committee member. She is always present at the PRM meetings taking the committee minutes, which I must say make me sound a lot more distinguished then I believe I sound. She is always prompt when fulfilling the extra roles I assign her position. It is for this reason the Public Relations & Marketing Committee recognizes Tiffany Gibbs as February’s Member of the Month.

Matthew Connelly
Volunteer Committee’s Member of the Month

The Volunteer Committee’s pick for member of the month is Matthew Connelly. Matthew is a very hardworking and lively member. He is not only a freshman, but is also a part of the Events Management Committee. Matthew had signed up to become the project manager of the Bailey House Auction. Not only did he have to start work on the event fast, but to also get his co-project manager up to date. Needless to say, due to his firm work ethics and reliability, his event was a success. We would like to give him a warm thank you for everything he has done and expect great things.

Christian Iezzi
Web & IT Committee’s Member of the Month

The Member of the Month is supposed to dedicate individual members who have persevered through their contributions to Sigma Alpha Delta and their respective committees without loss of enthusiasm. Chris Iezzi embodies that principle not as a member of Sigma Alpha Delta but as an overall gentleman and a scholar. Since he had requested to be the Internal Communicator for the Web & IT Committee. In addition to gathering member information and organizing effective committee communication, Chris had spearheaded the first efforts to gather data for the reconstruction of the Inducted Members Section. His latter initiative above and beyond the duties of an Internal Communicator and proves Chris Iezzi never lost that drive to accomplish. Chris is a sophomore at Baruch College and is planning to major in Political Science, an appropriate field for a man of his caliber. But above all, Chris is a personable, amicable, and loyal guy with a penchant for the old-fashioned Italian style. For these reasons, Christian Iezzi is February 2010 Web & IT Committee’s Member of the Month, and we wish him well in his endeavors.
