Joni Flynn, Lesley Bookout, Heather Bosch, Maggie Sevison and Heather Mitchell attended the Psi Iota Xi National Convention in Carmel, Indiana, from June 23 to 25.

Psi Iota Xi meets annually to vote on charitable contributions to be distributed nationally. This year Psi Iota Xi continued with their long-term project that will result in donations of over $100,000 to the Multifaceted Stuttering Services at the University of Toledo. The last two long term projects include an endowed professorship at Indiana University school of Medicine/Riley Hospital and Cleft Palate Research at the University of Illinois.

The convention’s theme was “I’ve Got the Music in Me” and celebrated the accomplishments of this charitable organization led by Brenda Bonner, the national president.

Annually Psi Iota Xi donates nearly $1 million to art, music, literature and speech and hearing projects.
