Congress Renews IRA Rollover Provision

The IRA Rollover Provision & Triangle Education Foundation 
Recently, Congress took us to the edge of the cliff and then passed the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012.  While many of us have concerns with the efforts in Washington, Congress did provide a bit of a silver lining for non-profits such as the Triangle Education Foundation.  As part of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 Congress approved an immediate and retroactive implementation of the IRA Rollover provision. 

This allows taxpayers over 70½ on or before December 31, 2012 to make tax-free distributions from their traditional and Roth IRAs (Individual Retirement Accounts) directly to charity in 2012 and 2013.

Al Ver ar65 captivates at Scobie Leadership School

alver_with_2_ug.jpgAl Ver ar65 of Ford Motor Company gave his inspirational presentation,  A Personal Journey Towards Leadership to the participants of the Herbert Scobie Leadership School on July 15, 2012.  As young Triangles look to create success in their careers and lives, the stories of his experiences and advice underscored what they had learned over an intense, high-energy weekend of leadership training.

 The presentation is a life-long work developed from the rich experiences and lessons he has learned over an impressive career where he served as the vice president and CEO and COO, Automotive Components Holdings (ACH). Prior to this, he served as vice president for Ford's Advanced Manufacturing Engineering organization. He joined Ford in 1972 as a manufacturing process engineer at the Mt. Clemens (Mich.) Paint Plant. He has held a number of engineering and manufacturing positions within Ford and its component operations during his career.

Report Proves Triangle Education Foundation is Changing Lives
In a comprehensive research project started in December of 2007 the Triangle Education Foundation is pleased to say that the years of investments in educational and leadership programs are paying off and changing the lives of young engineers as planned. The research project took over 12 months to complete and is the first step in the formal evaluation process of the various programs the Foundation funds each year.

In cooperation with the Fraternity the Foundation hired Dr. Tom Jelke, an expert in higher education assessment, to provide quantitative and qualitative assessment of its programs and participants since their inception in 2001. Both the Fraternity and Foundation were enormously pleased with the final results.

The results of the data analysis indicate that the leadership programs are meeting or exceeding the vast majority of their desired outcome goals when it comes to providing participants with the leadership skills needed to run and elevate chapter programming. Participants believed their Triangle leadership training experiences made a significant contribution to their development as leaders during college, and after college - in their workplaces and communities.
