Loren Pedrick
President
My name is Loren Pedrick and I am the President for our chapter. I am affiliated with Kappa Alpha and Iota Phi collegiate chapters. I have lived in Colorado for 14 years (9 of which have been in Denver) with brief stints out of state for graduate school. My hobbies and interests include Denver professional sports (Broncos, Avs, Rockies, Nuggets), traveling/exploring, snowboarding, Orangetheory, Pure Barre, and spending time with my Maine Coons.
Lindsey Roberts
Treasurer
Hi! My name is Lindsey Roberts and I am the Treasurer for our chapter. A little bit about myself, I am originally from Virginia where I attended Longwood University to receive my Bachelors of Science in Criminology and Criminal Justice. As a senior I joined the Alpha Chapter of ZTA in 2013, when we were being re-chartered on campus. I have been an active member of RMAC since I moved to the Denver area 10 years ago, to further my studies at the University of Denver for graduate school in International Relations. Since joining RMAC I have held several different roles on our Executive Committee over the years, to include VP Programming and Treasurer. In my spare time I like to relax with my husband and two sons (3 y/o and 2 m/o) going to the zoo, professional sporting events (we love baseball and soccer), traveling to visit our family nationwide, and reading. I look forward to seeing everyone throughout the year!
Robin Volden
Ways and Means, Communications
I attended Michigan State University (Beta Phi Chapter). I've been involved with this group since 1989 and have held just about every office. I've met such wonderful women and made live-long friends in this group. Zeta truly is Forever!
- Favorite Zeta Memory: As part of this alumni group, we did a dance routine for our September recruitment party that the collegiate groups were doing. It was fun remembering how much work the skits took.

Cindy Fiegenbaum
Service/Making Strides
Cindy is recently retired and staying just as busy as before my retirement from teaching elementary school. I am involved in DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution), three book clubs, PTA at my former school - still fundraising for the school, and involved in Making Strides events. I served in a variety of officer positions in college, in the alumnae chapter and on the national level with ZTA. I graduated from the University of Missouri - Columbia, the Alpha Psi Chapter. Next spring, my collegiate chapter is celebrating 100 years on campus and I am lucky enough to be on the planning committee for our Centennial Celebration! Note: Cindy has been awarded the Certificate of Merit and the Honor Ring.

Becky Echtenkamp
Ritual
I'm a generationally-native Coloradoan. I mention that first because it is one of the first identities I remember having and I NEVER thought I would leave Colorado. Why would I? Everything I had ever thought about was here, my family, friends, college (ColoState), sorority (Kappa Alpha '99), and dream job (Zookeeper at the Denver Zoo)! But then we did... and it was hard. One thing that stuck with me, and was real and true was that I could be a Zeta anywhere I went! When I was in college I was involved immediately and ZTA was my safe place. I was FRED/Risk Management, then Alumnae/Collegiate Relations and then Historian. So when I left Colorado I searched for other Alumnae chapters. Once we finally settled in the Cincinnati area, I thrived as our Alumnae chapter's Philanthropy chair for a handful of years, overseeing the change over from Susan G. Komen to American Cancer Society and creating an amazing relationship with the Bengals for their Crucial Catch games. And since I was the first one to find out about our President at the time wanting to step down but no one stepping up and brought that info to the chapter, I somehow ended up as Chapter President for 5 years!! I also ended up earning our chapter 3 consecutive Crown Chapter awards, helped in the recolonization of the University of Cincinnati, Alpha Eta chapter, served as their Ritual Advisor, and many other amazing milestones and friendships. Outside of ZTA, I am a Zookeeper, an mom to one very handsome 4.5 year old boy, Asher and a wife of 17 years to Ben (long story) who I met in high school, went to college at the same time and had nothing to do with each other until a couple years later. I love plants and animals as well as the Broncos, Bengals, Reds and Rockies! I don’t have any hobbies to speak of because I am really good at starting things and rarely finish them!
