Mary Ann Rice Caldwell Award

Chicago West Suburban Alumnae Chapter

Mary Ann Rice Caldwell (MARC) was a longtime AOII volunteer and staff
member. Named in her honor, this award recognizes the most outstanding
alumnae chapter for the biennium.
This year’s deserving MARC winner is the Chicago West Suburban Alumnae
Chapter. This great chapter excels in many areas, and their commitment
to collegiate relations is top notch. They support four collegiate chapters
and participate in the adopt-a-chapter program through their Area Council.
They are a living and breathing example of AOII for a lifetime as they serve as
volunteers at the local and international level. The chapter emphasizes Ritual
in all that they do and is a shining light in their community. They support an
endless list of organizations in their community - just a few of them include
DuPage PADS, an organization committed to ending homelessness in
their community; the Ronald McDonald House, Comer Children’s Hospital,
People’s Resource Center, Operation Holiday Card, West Suburban Humane
Society, Hope’s Front Door, The Children’s Research Foundation, Goodwill,
and Sharing Connections.
Chicago West Suburban AC works very hard to provide a scholarship to a
collegian in their state and is committed to enhancing the collegiate AOII
experience by supporting each chapter to achieve their goals. The chapter’s
MIF committee sent a record number of 70+ MIFs in 2014, too. AOII is proud
to honor Chicago West Suburban AC with the 2015 MARC award.
