From 2005-2007, Dr. Linda Morrison Combs Z~ '08 (Lenoir-Rhyne University) was Controller of the United States. As Controller, Executive Office of the President, Office of Management and Budget, she worked on the widest possible range of issues at the highest levels of government. She routinely briefed the President of the United States on the status of financial management in the Federal departments, and frequently testified before numerous Congressional oversight committees. Dr. Combs headed the Chief Financial Officers Council for the entire Federal government and was responsible for establishing financial management policies and requirements for the Executive branch of the Federal govern­ ment, totaling $2.7 trillion in revenue.

During her career she has worked for three U.S. Presidents, and has earned five Senate confirmations. In previous positions, she has been The LAMP: You have spoken about transformational leadership the Chief Financial Officer at the Environmental Protection Agency for business leaders. Can you describe that concept for our ($8 billion revenue) where she received the highest honor awarded - readers? the prestigious Crystal Eagle Award from the President. As Assistant Secretary of the Department of Transportation ($58 billion revenue) , Dr. Combs: First of all , I live by the concept that you manage things, she led that agency to be the first Federal Department to install a and you lead people.

Then , they give others the credit for the accomplishment. Dr. Combs was the 2008 Convention initiate at Delta Zeta's 48th National Convention held in Miami, Florida. Here Dr. Combs discusses The LAMP: How can Delta Zetas apply transformation leadership the obligation each Delta Zeta has to improve her local community to their lives, to better themselves and their communities? and the world community and how holding oneself accountable to community standards contributes to values-based decision making for Dr. Combs: "Shine the spotlight over there" is my advice for Delta the greater good.

Then, when a task is done, it is The LAMP: You certainly believe in accountability and integrity, rewarding to once again "shine the spotlight over there ," and this time given that you headed the Chief Financial Officers Council for the point to those who pitched in and helped - and made the community entire Federal government and were responsible for establishing or the project better because of the team 's work . financial management policies and requirements for the Executive branch. How do you believe educated women can contribute to The LAMP: If someone is interested in a position in public service, values-based decision making for the greater good of their what advice would you give to them? communities? Dr. Combs: Public service is unlike any other job or position one has Dr. Combs: In corporate, government, or the nonprofit financial world, ever had or will ever have again! It is an incredible professional having a clean audit opinion (as evaluated by an outside accounting experience, surrounded by personal experiences one can never firm) is the gold standard for measuring accountability and integrity. forget.

It's a special treat to go to work I held other positions that demanded my attention to accountability every day and work alongside some of the best and brightest minds and integrity, many in my local community. So, I know there are in America. But, there are many fiscal challenges at every level of tremendous opportunities for service in every town and in every government today- local , state or Federal. And for those who choose community. During such times of leadership and service, educated to "serve" and do the real work of government - the hard work of doing women have a wonderful chance to imprint their own "gold standard" of the right thing - the days are long. "Public service" at any level is a lot accountability and integrity by leading from their heart. Leading in paths more than a job. If one does it right, public service is a public trust that where the "heart beckons" with values that contribute to the greater gives one an opportunity to accomplish a lot of good for others.

In standing by these principles and refusing to waver from them for one instant we are partaking of the spirit of the early pioneers of our country who strove in st>ite of small numbers and succeeded in spite of much adversity. Surely no one of serious mind would sac­ rifice these noble womanly principles or give up the beloved name of Delta Zeta for the mere sake of a larger member­ ship. Rather let us remain a small sorority than to be so disloyal. By binding ourselves together in a strong and loyal band we can accomplish much for the betterment of college life and the broader field of womanhood. Many of you will recall the old parable of the bundle of sticks. A few sticks bound tightly together are very hard to break. Untie them and each one separately may be easily broken. So let us stand sturdily by each other, firmly bound by the principles which we know are right.

Jayna's brother, Justin, did the march every year before his deployment. Jayna felt that it was important to honor him and be as strong as he is every day as he fulfills his mission overseas. She saw the Bataan March as a personal challenge, one that she would conquer.

Jayna says, "Justin has been such an amazing blessing in my life and is the best brother in the entire world, hands down. He has been an outstanding role model for me. His deployment was truly one of the hardest times my family has ever faced, and seeing his strength while in Afghanistan gave me and my family the strength to have a positive attitude and keep the faith that he will return home safely. Justin has taught me that no dream is too far out of reach .

"The walk was so hard. My muscles burned, my hips and knees hurt, and I swore that my poor feet would never forgive me.
