Past Grand Val, as she is lovingly called, accepted  an appointment to the ZNEF Board of Directors in 2022 as the Fundraising Chair. She was an excellent choice for ZNEF, given her historical fundraising efforts at the helm of her beloved sorority. Hollingsworth Baker procured partnerships with Geico, Dell, Google, New Balance Athletic Wear/Jairus Group, St. John Knits International, Inc., Goldman Sachs, Micah's Voice, and the National Council of Negro Women's Good Health Wins initiative and Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. Many of these strategic relationships, including with national vendor licensing firm Learfield/CLC, have set the organization up for continued success for years to come. Past Grand Val's elaborate network will be the driving force to increasing the foundation's footprint in providing scholarships and promote the mission of ZNEF.
