2023 Recipient
Shelley N. Fidler ’68, P’09
Shelley Fidler is a passionate advocate for the Brown Annual Fund and a dedicated volunteer. Her enduring connection to Brown is abundantly clear through her work with the Annual Fund, as a mentor for the Women’s Launch Pad and Chair Emeritus for the Women’s Leadership Council. In her role as a co-chair for the Class of 1968 55th Reunion Gift Committee, Fidler took the initiative to craft a personal and heartwarming appeal to promote the Class of 1968 Reunion Class Gift. The result was a new record for the 55th Reunion Class Gift, nearly $1.5 million, as well as a new Leader donor record for the 55th Reunion.
