Vice President for Finance

I have a BSBA in Finance from West Virginia University where I made lots of memories as a member of the Alpha Xi Chapter of Delta Gamma. I look forward to reengaging with the Delta Gamma organization to Do Good in the Fort Myers community and making more fond memories with a great group of ladies. My husband, Mike, and I moved to southwest Florida in 2007 and own an accounting firm. We have two college aged children.

Vice President of Programming

My name is Francine Van Olst and I am a graduate of Virginia Tech, where I was initiated into the Delta Rho chapter of Delta Gamma in 1979. As an engineer withExxonMobil for over 36 years, I travelled globally, and had the opportunity to live in Baton Route, Louisiana, northern New Jersey, northern Virginia and Houston. It was wonderful to meet so many friendly new Delta Gammas in each alumnae group I joined. After retiring in 2017, my husband and I moved to Fort Myers. We had vacationed in this area since the late 1980s, and knew we'd enjoy living here. We have three grown sons who live out of state, one of which is married giving us two grandchildren. I became VP-Foundation in 2019 and then moved to VP-Programming in 2024.

Vice President: Communications and Membership

Hi! I'm Suzie Nowell, a 1986 graduate of Alpha Xi-West Virginia University. I've remained active with Delta Gamma since graduation. I've volunteered in many capacities including my current stint as VP - Communications and VP - Membership for the alumnae chapter; Rituals Advisor for Gamma Mu-Florida State, and Advisory Team Chair for Alpha Xi-West Virginia. My husband, Vince, and I have three adult children and one grandchild. We moved to Fort Myers in 2003 then moved to Sanibel in 2013.
