About our Chapter
The Seattle Alumnae Chapter started meeting as a group in 1949 and was chartered as a chapter in 1951. Sadly, out chapter lost the last two remaining charter members, Carol Beaumier and Charlotte Totten, in 2016. Both members had been active participants in the chapter to the end. Many of our other members have been with the chapter for a very long time, have served our chapter as officers, and have received the highest honors of the fraternity.
The Chapter received the Province Outstanding Alumnae Chapter Award in 2011-2012 as well as the National Alumnae Chapter Achievement Award for 2013-2014 during the presidency of Judy Stoffel Loewen.
Several individual members have also received national honors. Dr. Gloria Swisher is a national Member Laureate who has served on the Pan Pipes staff, as Secretary for SAI Philanthropies, Inc. and as Editor for the 1990 SAI Songbook. Nancy Matesky received the Nation Alumnae Leadership Award (Diamond Sword of Honor) in 2001. In 2011, Krista Mercier was given an SAI Professional Development Grant for Yoga Teacher Training. Lauren Trew received the 2015 National Treasurer Award. The chapter awarded Jane Ann Bradbury the Seattle Alumnae Chapter "Heart Award" for her loving care of all her SAI sisters, and Nancy Matesky received the chapter's Generosity Award.
