Parent & Family Leadership Council

The Parent & Family Leadership Council (PFLC) is a community of UD parents and families dedicated to maintaining the opportunities and prestige of the University of Delaware. The PFLC works together to increase parent involvement and raise vital dollars for the Parents Fund in support of the Division of Student Life.
PFLC members reside in regions around the country and represent all four undergraduate classes at UD. Members of the PFLC serve a one-year renewable term each year their student is enrolled as a current undergraduate at UD. A dedicated and active Council will help guide the work of the Division of Student Life and the Office of Parent & Family Giving and provide valuable feedback form the parent perspective.
The PFLC is overseen by the Vice President of Student Life, Senior National Chairs and Junior National Chairs.
For more information, contact Tracy E. Smith.
PFLC Mission Statement
The mission of the PFLC is to build relationships with parents and families that lead to increased interest in financially supporting the University of Delaware. The work of the PFLC results in increased philanthropic support from a parent base that understands and identifies with the needs of UD.
Volunteers are themselves donors who serve as advocates of the University and focus their fundraising efforts on securing gifts of $2,500 or more to the Parents Fund. The PFLC works through the University Office of Development and Alumni Relations’ Office of Parent & Family Giving and is overseen by the Vice President of Student Life.
