Fall Greetings to You & Yours, On behalf of the Gamma Zeta Boulé Foundation (GZBF) Board of Directors, in this month’s edition of The Brotherhood, I am honored to share three matters of significance.

Ramsey’s Yellow Pad

On behalf of the Gamma Zeta Boulé Foundation (GZBF) Board of Directors we bid you a most congenial New Year’s greeting as we welcome the 23rd year, of the 21st century, of the 3rd millennium. GZBF continues to advance a very prescriptive dual agenda to (1) fortify our internal institutional infrastructure and (2) dynamically innovate our external matrix of operating programs. We are making considerable progress on both items and for further insight, below is a two-point update on the latter (an update on the former will be provided in February). STEAMposium 2023 Innovation On March 18, 2023 GZBF is honored to once again co-sponsor the 2023 STEAMposium, themed STEAM to [...]

L.A.M.P. Mentor Program The Year in Review

What a year it has been, and we are only halfway through. The 2022-23 L.A.M.P. Program year has been nothing but spectacular and there are five months to go before the highly acclaimed L.A.M.P.

The speakers at the August Workshop were three professionals (Mr. Everad Williams; Mr. Mark Page, and Mr. Kevin Bathune) from the Art Center College of Design (https://www.artcenter.edu ) in Pasadena, California.
