University Donor and Vice Chancellor Honored
Nov 18, 2009
The Greater Augusta Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) recently named Evie Vought, donor to the University, as "Outstanding Philanthropist" and Deidre Martin, vice chancellor for university advancement, as "Outstanding Fundraising Professional" for 2009.
Martin and Vought, along with five other individuals and organizations, with be recognized at the 2009 National Philanthropy Day Luncheon, which will be held Wednesday, November 18 at the Augusta Country Club.
According to the Augusta Chapter of AFP, the Outstanding Philanthropist award is presented to an individual or family whose record of generosity to various charitable causes has significantly improved the quality of life in our community. According to Linda Evans, USC Aiken major gift officer, Vought is "most deserving" of the honor. In addition to several other local organizations that Vought supports, she contributes annually to USC Aiken's arts programs and has also established a planned gift at the University. "Her passion for art was partly inspired by USC Aiken art professor Al Byer," explained Evans, "and she's demonstrated her appreciation for that inspiration through much-needed financial support to that department. Her generous gifts have allowed, and will continue to allow, numerous others to experience and enjoy arts through our campus."
The AFP's Outstanding Fundraising Professional award recognizes one whose work exemplifies leadership, competence, achievement, ethical standards, and commitment to philanthropy. Chancellor Tom Hallman said he was very proud to hear that Martin had been recognized for her hard work in the fundraising profession. "For those of us who work with Deidre every day, it is easy to take her abilities, dedication, and professionalism for granted," said Hallman. "This award is very well-deserved, in light of her successes and her enthusiasm for a job that was brand new to her only a few years ago."
Each year individuals and organizations are nominated by members of the Greater Augusta Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals in a number of award categories. Other award winners to be recognized at the November luncheon include Jefferson Energy Cooperative/Foundation, Outstanding Corporation/Foundation; Comcast Cares Day Augusta, Outstanding Volunteer Association; Angela Hillesland, Outstanding Fundraising Volunteer; Emily Claire White, Outstanding Youth Volunteer; and AB Beverage Company, Inc., Outstanding Local Partner.
