2025 Outstanding Volunteer: Glenn A. Stith
Indianapolis, July 17, 2025 – With extraordinary leadership and enduring commitment to the Educational Foundation of Alpha Gamma Rho, Glenn A. Stith has dedicated decades of his life to ensuring their mission and impact is realized. He leads by example and consistently demonstrates a commitment to nurturing future leaders.
It is for his vision and mentorship that Glenn has been recognized as the 2025 Outstanding Volunteer. His award will be presented on Tuesday, Aug. 26, during the Foundation for Fraternal Excellence Awards of Distinction Program, part of FFE Seminar.
“We deeply appreciate the countless hours Glenn devotes to our cause,” said Alpha Gamma Rho CEO Rex Martin, CAE. “Whether it’s locating contact information for brothers, soliciting donations, planning events or ensuring that the impact of our efforts is clearly communicated, Glenn’s dedication is unwavering. His efforts have been instrumental in proving that investments in the Educational Foundation of Alpha Gamma Rho are secure and impactful, instilling confidence in our donors and supporters.”
Initiated at the University of Kentucky in 1973, Glenn has volunteered both locally and nationally with AGR since 1977. He has served for 18 years on the Educational Foundation Board, including eight years as its Chairman. He has consistently served on the finance and audit committees, the investment committee, the ambassador committee, the development committee, and the National Convention planning committee and takes part in other committees as needed.
His volunteer tenure has been marked by significant achievements including the expansion of AGR’s ambassador program, substantial increases in annual fundraising, the completion of a capital campaign feasibility study, and the initiation and leadership of Alpha Gamma Rho’s most ambitious fundraising campaign to date, aimed at Local Chapter Excellence. This historic campaign, currently surpassing $21 million, promises to positively impact thousands of young brothers for generations. In support of the campaign, Glenn personally solicited gifts from almost 100 donors, totaling nearly $1.7 million. He also served as the co-chair of the Omicron Chapter housing campaign which resulted in a new $5 million house at the University of Kentucky.
In support of his nomination, Pennington & Co. Vice President Aaron Parker wrote, “Glenn is the epitome of what we, as fundraising consultants, desire in a volunteer. He personally takes time to understand current challenges provided others’ knowledge and experience, offers creative ideas and feedback to move toward a resolution and acts quickly on requests and tasks aligned with the agreed upon solutions.”
“His service has been characterized by vision, perseverance and a deep personal commitment to empowering the next generation of leaders,” shared Alpha Gamma Rho Educational Foundation Chief Development Officer Carol Johnson, Ed.D, CFRE.
The Foundation for Fraternal Excellence is pleased to present Glenn with the 2025 Outstanding Volunteer Award and looks forward to celebrating his servant leadership and lifelong commitment to Alpha Gamma Rho this summer.
