2002 Mizzou G.O.L.D. Award

Tina Kelly

Tina Kelly is the Treasurer of the St. Louis Alumni Chapter. However she was nominated by the chapter for the breadth and depth of her many volunteer roles. Prior to being treasurer, she served as secretary for two years and as an active member on the Scholarship Committee, the Roaring Union Committee and the Mizzou at the Zoo Ticket Committee.

Putting her accounting talents to work for Mizzou, Tina has been active in formalizing the chapter’s budget process and implementing procedures that improved its financial condition. She has been a regular attendee at a variety of chapter events and instrumental in developing a database to track attendance and monetary transactions.
In addition, Tina often goes the extra mile. She develops clever ways to enhance fund-raising activities. She started the “grab” bag idea at Grants Farm, and personally provided items such as Tiger tails, many of which she made. She also helped create the T-shirts, which resulted in additional proceeds.

Even in her work with Ernst and Young, Tina regularly sent membership materials to new employees and helped recruit students from MU to work for E & Y. While her nominators have acknowledged that Tina’s service to Mizzou is often “behind the scenes,” they have reported she is very active in MLN, has participated in Tiger Club presentations and given personal community service, resulting in donations to the chapter.

A season football ticket holder since her graduation, Tina is an all-season volunteer for Mizzou – and that’s the bottom line!
