- Welcome to Let's Talk Tri Delta podcast. We're doing something a little different
today. In a Turn the Tables episode, today's guest is none other than Tri Delta's
chief executive officer and your regular podcast host, Mindy Tucker from our Theta
Kappa chapter at Southern Methodist. I'm Heidi Guest, and I'm excited to interview
Mindy and help introduce her to our members as Tri Delta's new CEO. Now,
I'd like to share a little bit of background about Mindy because she's got an
amazing history. Prior to her role as CEO, Mindy served Tri Delta as the vice
president of marketing and communications, overseeing all public -facing efforts for the
enterprise, including digital media, the Trident, events, member communication,
crisis communication, as well as project management, data and insights, and technology.
She also served as Chief Strategy Officer, where she brought a wealth of strategic
expertise to Tri Delta's new strategic plan. Prior to Tri Delta,
Mindy served as chief spokesperson for the US Justice Department and was in that
post on September 11th, 2001. She also served in various communication capacities in
politics and government. Mindy has worked closely with nonprofits, corporations and
startup companies at her own firm, Crux Partners, and prior to that at Ogilvy public
relations. Now, regarding awards, in 2004, Mindy was awarded Southern Methodist
University's inaugural Emerging Leader Award. And in 2014, she was recognized by San
Diego Magazine with its Women Who Mean Business Award. I'm excited to help our
listeners get to know her better today. Mindy, welcome to the podcast this time on
the other side? I know it's a little bit weird to be on this side, but I'm really
glad to be here and glad to be able to talk with you. I'm glad to have you here.
How does it feel? How does it feel? It's a little weird. I'm usually in control of
these interviews. All right. Well, I'll give you as much control as I can. Mindy, I
know after watching many of the podcasts that you start your podcast interviews,
asking the guests usually they came to Tri Delta? You know, what was their Tri Delta
story? So I kind of want to pose the same question for you. Tell me about your
Tri Delta collegiate experience at Southern Methodist University. Yeah, so we had
deferred recruitment at SMU, so it happened now it's in the fall, but it was in
the spring back then, and I had a chance to meet some of the members of Tri Delta
in the fall. We got to know people, and there was one in particular, a woman named
Tamara Marinkovic who befriended me and my freshman roommate who was a friend of
mine from high school. And Tamara was this amazingly accomplished woman who like
worked and still took care of her mom who had an illness and was in Tri Delta and
she was in student activity. She was just like how does she do it all kind of
person. Very impressive and took time to recruit my friend Brandy and I to Tri Delta. And so that was the sort of how the story went. And we found our home
there. And for me, it was just a place where I really, I always felt at home. I
felt like I shared the values of the women that I was meeting, the things I cared
about, they cared about. I loved how they showed up on campus and in activities and
involved in the community. And so it was a really great fit for me. The other
thing that I think was really special about it was I came to SMU without a lot of
money necessarily. It was an expensive school.
I never felt that difference inside Tri Delta. I might have felt it on campus, I
might have known that that was something, you know, that I was a little bit
different from people there that had money. I never felt that difference in Tri Delta.
It was truly a place of belonging for me. I love that. I love that, that whole
idea of bring you, right, and your talents and abilities. You know,
I wonder what you've learned that you use today, what you learned at Tri Delta that
comes into your life today, because we always talk about lifetime membership, but
what's the imprint Tri Delta has left for you? I think personally, you know,
there's this idea of truth, self sacrifice and friendship. And I think that's core
to everything I do. I think honesty and loyalty is really important. I tend to be
one of those people who looks to serve first rather than be served. And I think a
lot of that comes from that idea of self -sacrifice in Tri Delta, and that you'll
get as much back as you give. I really learned that there. And friendship,
my friendships are so important to me in T Tri Delta, but even outside of Tri Delta
like that's a core part of my life is who who my friends are and how I show up
for them and and how sort of interrelated they are in my life so I think those
things it's funny I think about that also from you know now I work at Tri Delta so
what do I what do I lean back on from my experience in this role and working at
Tri Delta and I think I have this keen understanding of scholarships you know our
foundation gives scholarships um The foundation was created the year I joined Tri Delta
and it's not lost on me what what my situation might have been how that might have
been different had I had a foundation scholarship when I was going through school.
So I reflect on that and really understand the women that were supporting there.
When we ask our members or officers to do something. I've been there. I know what
it's like to ask them to but I was an author in the chapter. I was the Vice
President of Administration. So I know when we're asking our officer teams to do
something, I've been in that seat. And so I feel like it's a perspective that you
bring to the table. Things are different now. It's been a long time since I've been
in school, too long to think about, but I think it's good to have that perspective.
I think I'm also really passionate about our housing experience because I got to
live in the house and it was so unique for me and so special for me that I can
go share that with others and talk about. I'm really passionate that as many of our
members as possible get to have some sort of housing experience since I Tri Delta.
So it's funny what shows up for my personal membership experience and my work that
I get to I get to drive and share with others now. That's what I was thinking as
you were talking was it was a first -person experience that blossomed into this
desire to assist, you know, our members in every possible way,
you know, for lack of better term, that's the best phrase. And, and I feel that as
you're talking, it really makes me very happy that you're serving where you currently
are. Let's go back in time a little bit. I am fascinated with,
I learned about your resume with your political career. Can you tell us a little
bit about it? - Yeah, yeah. It was definitely a different time in politics than it
is now. But I went to Capitol Hill straight out of college. I worked in a
congressman's office answering the phones and scheduling White House tours and sort of
worked my way up. At one point I got asked to write a letter and they figured out
I could write and they said, "Hey, would you like to be involved "in the
congressman's press operations and so I sort of worked myself up from there and just
ended then started a series of being in the right place at the right time. I was
his press secretary when a lot of things changed on the hill and he got better
committees and more responsibility and so I got to sort of rise with him. And then
I had the chance to go back to Texas and work on a presidential campaign, which
was an amazing experience on so many levels, the family and people that I met
through that, just amazing friends and connections, but the experience, you know, just
the work experience, crisis communications and understanding stakeholders. There's so
many different pieces in a campaign that you're knitting together to make something
work. And then I had the chance after that campaign was over and we won, I had
the chance to go back to DC and work in the administration, and was the chief
spokesperson for the justice department. And I was 30 years old at the time.
And I think about just like having no business doing what I was doing at the age
of 30. But I had done so many things so young, that there are differences.
And not really even realizing what was in front of me when I took there was,
you know, just a deluge of this and that the Timothy McVeigh execution happened
while I was there at the Justice Department and the Microsoft settlement, their
antitrust settlement. There's so many big things. And then September 11th, and to be,
you know, in that position
on that, I mean, it's still one of the most rewarding experiences I've had, but
also just, you know, so life -changing and so heavy to,
so heavy to have lived through and talk. I get asked to talk about it a lot. My
kids' school friends will ask, "Can you come talk to our class on it?" And it's
interesting, even this many years later, to recount it, that it was just a moment
in my career that really mattered to me and gave me a lot of maturity and
experience that I take with me going forward. You know what I really love about
your story and how you developed over time, you know, new opportunities came to you?
Is it all started with somebody noticing that you could write a letter? That's what
I heard as I was listening. Somebody saw this person has an ability and that
ability launched a thousand ships. I mean, who would think as a young woman at
- Yeah, you would be in the position you were. It's really quite awesome. - Yeah,
you know, it's also, I will say, they asked me, do you want to respond? Do you
want to do this? Do you want to write this letter? Nobody else in the office
wanted to do it. And I said, sure, I was always like, I'll take what I'm just
trying to make, make a way here. - Wow. - So, you know, never pass up an
opportunity to showcase what you can do, even if it's in your description or what,
just do it. - Step forward, lead from where you stand. You definitely did that. Now,
at post politics, I'd love to know about your life and how it evolved after
politics because that was quite a ride.
You then kind of transitioned to a different life. Tell me a little bit about that
and what went into that decision. Yeah. You know, I think that whole time there was
still this does my career had been first, you know, first in my life and it's a
driver, but I still wanted a life outside of that. And I think when you work in
those kinds of political positions, you don't get to have a life, but I still
wanted to get married and have kids and be a mom, you know, all the things. And
so I ended up meeting someone who did not live in DC, who lived in California. And
we decided to get married. And I thought this is my chance to, and so I had to
walk away, though, from the career. And it was, you know, there's lots of that's a
whole another podcast in terms of it is that's a moment. What do you do? But for
me, I made that decision, I moved to California, we got married, and started down
the road of, you know, being together and then trying to create a family. And
quickly realized I was And quickly realized I was not gonna be able to do that on
my own and made the decision to adopt kids. And people ask me all the time,
"Is it different? Do you think it's as...?" I don't know any other way. I can't
imagine loving my kids more than I do. I have two amazing boys and they're now 13
and 16. But that was a great experience for me the way I did it. Everybody,
So many women struggle with infertility and challenges on that front. And I don't,
you have to figure it out for yourself what your journey is and how you want to
go about doing it. But for me, I did not spend a lot of time on fertility drugs.
We just went straight into this like I'm ready to adopt and we're ready to do this
and make a family that way. So yeah, but so it was that whole next part of my
career was like figuring out how to juggle having a life but still I realized still
wanting to work and wanting to feel purposeful outside of the house, outside of my
family. And so finding the right balance for that was probably a good, you know,
eight years or so of my life of kind of going back to, you know, working at
Ogilvy Public Relations part time, having a business of my own so I could dictate
my schedule. It was a lot of juggling around to try to figure out how to make
that work because I didn't want to be out of the house all the time when my kids
were But, but I still had that need to work. Yes.
And the fact that you, you know, were brave and bold to step away from the
political arena, then go to really expressing another part of yourself.
And then I love the idea that you said no, both are important. I need to bring
both back into balance. And that's not easy. Those of us who are watching this
podcast are here right now. Know that that is not as simple as it sounds but it's
about making decisions about how you want to live your life and I think that's
wonderful. So now let me follow you. How did you make the transition?
It's kind of becoming clearer and clearer to me as I listen to you to try Delta's
executive office because that came next, right? This is a fun story. So when I
worked in politics, I had a woman on my staff named Jill Angela. She's a phenomenal
woman. She was an intern for me like 98 and then worked on the presidential
campaign with me. We've remained friends.
She and I worked under Karen Hughes. Karen Hughes is this woman. Everybody adores
and loves. She is so wicked smart around communications. She was President Bush's
right arm. She was the deputy ambassador at the Secretary, at the Department of
State. Like she's just, - Anyway, an amazing woman.
She, Jill stayed working for her. Jill worked for her. After Karen left the White
House, she was her chief of staff at Burson Marsteller. Fast forward, Kimberlee
Sullivan becomes the fraternity president of Tri Delta. Kimberlee and Jill are best
friends. - No. - Yes. Jill, or Kimberlee says to Jill,
"I want to hire Karen Hughes to do our crisis communications and some messaging for
us. And Jill said, okay, but you like Karen's an ADPi, do you want a Tri Delta?
And she said, that'd be great to have a Tri Delta on the team. And she said,
we're going to call Mindy. And so Mindy and Jill and Karen got the band back
together from politics and came to be a consultant for Tri Delta. And we managed
crisis communications for a little while and also did after the branding, the rebrand
was done in 2016, we did the messaging, we crafted the messaging that went along
with the new brand, so. Yeah. Does it make you wonder, Mindy,
when you look back, I know when I look back to, about the coincidences or what are
the, you know, you ask yourself, what are the chances the band is back? You know,
it's just amazing how people turn up in our lives. And I can remember years before
that, like watching Phyllis, Phyllis Grissom and I went to college together. She was
a year younger than me. And I remember watching her be involved with the Trident
and then coming on the board and thinking, God, would it be great to work at
Tri Delta someday? I probably could never do that because I'm not living in Dallas
and that's where they were based. And, you know, it just was like a fleeting
thought, but like, wouldn't that be fun? And you just never know how these things
are gonna come about and it's never in the way you think it is ever. - Yes. Isn't
that true that when you look back over your life, things aren't forced, it's just
you saw an opportunity or something turned up and you turned toward it. That's the
biggest learning I've had. And when I think about then you being so involved in
Tri Delta, as we talked about earlier, and now this moment in time where you've
accepted the CEO position. And that is amazing.
You joined Tri Delta's executive office. Anything you want to say about that in terms
of the time that you were there? I started out as a consultant and then this
position came open to be the vice president of marketing communications and it was
the right, I was ready to, so personal life story, ended up getting divorced,
was a single mom and really needed so, you know, to take a step back into a more
structured workplace from owning my own on business and Tri Delta you know was going
through a little bit of a transition and created this position that I was there was
like a perfect fit for me at the right time and I got hired in and I've been
here ever since and I will say this you know I think um one of the commitments
that we've made at Tri Delta as a women's organization is we are also a great place
for women to work. We make ourselves flexible um And we allow, you know, we always
say family first. Like I've never had a problem scheduling to be off to go drive
on a field trip. - That's wonderful. - And I just, I have flexibility if my, you
know, if somebody calls from school and I have to go pick up my child 'cause he's
sick. I had a boss who was like, hey, that comes first. We'll reschedule our
meeting. And they're not a lot of places like that. And so for me,
it's been the most beautiful partnership at a time where I was, you know, a little
bit like, you know, recently divorced a mom of two kids on my own, trying to
figure it out how to do all this on my own. It's just been, again, you get to
have this amazing career, you get to do this thing that you love at a high level,
use all these skills that I had in my life and do it for an organization that I
deeply, deeply care about. I mean, that's, that's just amazing. And I now see the
link between your political government role and Tri Delta, 'cause that was something,
as well as I know you, I didn't really understand that as well. And it's funny, as
you and I have gotten to know each other in the recent past, we've talked a little
bit about, you know, you accepting the Tri Delta interim CEO position and then this
moment in time where you are now going into role that you've really um everything
has pointed to this but you said something to me and I won't say it but you said
something to me that made me pause as you as you shared it with me but tell me
about this moment in time of um becoming the CEO what's going through your head?
Yeah um I mean you're honored yeah and you're like overcome with like,
wow, they think I can step in and take the reins and manage the organization well
and that, you know, that's a lot of confidence to put in me. So you're proud of
that, but also a little bit terrified that they're putting all that confidence in
you. Exhilarated Mindy, exhilarated. I'm adrenaline there.
And I remember being a little bit scared about it. And the first time I I talked
to one of my kids about it. I talked to my son, Caleb, who's 13. I must have
been hesitant because he finally looked at me and said, "Mom, isn't this a good
thing?" And so I think I was feeling my angst about it. And he's like,
"This is terrific. You're gonna be the CEO." So I stepped into it. And I think
even then, at that point, the way we have our succession plan read, the way we did
our succession plan was if anything ever happened and we needed somebody to step in,
Mindy would step in and then Mindy could decide if she wanted to be a candidate
for the permanent role and the board would do a search and choose a permanent CEO.
And so that's what started to play out. And so I realized I had a choice to
become the interim, but I also had a choice about whether or not I wanted to be
the permanent CEO. And so you get into the job and you're living it and you get
to sort of feel it out before you make that decision. But I had always seen myself
as a number two. And that's what you told me. Yeah, I'd always had a really strong
number one in front of me, you know, when I was in this position and Karen White
was the CEO, I was her number two. When I worked for Karen Hughes and politics, I
was always her number two. And I think I had just gotten really comfortable there
and not had not seen myself as a number one. And so I went into this whole thing
from that perspective and it took me a bit of just stepping into it and realizing
I could do it and believing in myself and seeing it play out,
but just stepping in and having, you know, putting the fear aside and just stepping
in and doing it and realizing, oh, I can do this. I can be the CEO. When you
said that to me, you know, I always pictured myself as number two. I was shocked
because I see you as, of course, this person has every talent and ability to be
number, you know, to go to number one. But then I thought to myself, how many
times have you thought that, Heidi, guest? Or how many times do a lot of us have
that moment where we think, is this really where I can go? Is this even possible?
And I think It's so nice for me to know and for the people that are listening
right now that even you had that thought because I think it affirms us all that
that's a natural thing to question, but that when it comes time, like you said,
I, I could, and I did make the decision to step in and I salute you for that.
Thank you. I did. Yeah, great, but so I guess that's my advice my advice,
step in, you know, for, you know, we're all going to doubt ourselves from time to
time, I think. Yeah. Well, you must have a lot of hopes at this particular point
and aspirations of what you want to bring. We're asking you to bring you to try
Delta and what you want to bring. What's your vision, Mindy? I know I listened to
a podcast recently where you shared some ideas about your vision, but what are your
hopes and dreams or how you will live into this role. - I just think we're at such
an amazing time. We have so many opportunities in front of us. We're at a point
where growth is an option. We have some exciting extension opportunities in front of
us. So it's fun to step into that and think differently about that. I think we're
really thinking about alumni membership and what that looks like and how we can
really create full engagement for alumni and getting to do that in a different way
than we've done before. And so that's exciting. I love thinking about new things and
ideas and trying things and we're really in a test and learn mode on the staff so
that they can, you know, come up with crazy ideas and try them and not everything's
going to work but but some things will and it's going to grow the organization. I
think about Treadeltas Foundation and the impact it has and then the capacity for
more of that. And I'm really excited about some things we're stepping into there in
order to just grow the impact that we can have on our members and the way we help
and support members. It's truly amazing what we're doing there and telling more
people about that and getting more people involved and being a part of that impact
is gonna be so fun. And then try Delta Housing. I'm doing just some amazing things.
These houses that they build. If you take a look, go online and take a look at
Kansas. There's a video you can walk through the house at Kansas. You can walk
through the house at Butler.
It's just the places that we're creating, the spaces that we're creating for this
generation of women to come together and learn and be together and enjoy friendship.
It's just, I wish it was like that when I was there. I was very happy with the
housing experience I had when I was there, but it's just crazy how elevated it is
and what we're able to do for these women. So it's just an exciting time to think
back and re -engage and make sure Tri Delta is there doing what it needs to do for
all of our members. - If there was a banner I hear over, everything you're saying
is you're just excited to create a larger and more accessible community of tri
deltas. I love your emphasis on the alums. You know, even though we were told as
kids, it was a lifelong experience. Some people, you know, just think four years.
And I think of how many possibilities, and with your visionary talent and your
ability to see a whole new day for tri delta, I think you will define membership
in a whole new way during your leadership term. And that's really exciting.
Do I think a lot of us hearing this? You know, as far as any challenges you see
on the forefront, you know, what's the big rock that you see or what do you see
as a challenge or maybe, you know, just something that we need to address? - Yeah,
I think a couple of things. Higher ed in general is just a volatile industry at
the moment. It came out of COVID, people were questioning the value of higher ed in
some cases. We've seen entire campuses shut down as a result of what sort of the
transition that happened over the time that we were working through the pandemic.
So there's a lot of uncertainty there. And that's where we, you know, that's the
main place we welcome members is on college campuses. And so I think we just have
to be mindful of what's going on there and what the trends are there. We're only
gonna be as strong as all of the campuses that we're on in terms of our collegiate
experience. I think getting buy -in from alumni, really giving them something that is
meaningful to a diverse group of alumni who are all in different ages and stages of
life enough so that they want to pay dues and give back and,
you know, sort of be in, you know, all invested in, into the organization. And
that's a challenge in front of us creating. That's not a culture we've had. You
know, it's not a culture where we pay dues. It's an alumni. So how do we shift
that and change that in an effort to make sure that the collegiate members are not
bearing the brunt of what's, what's going on at Tri Delta in terms of funds. So
That's just a couple of things that are in front of us. I think there's always
outside forces that, you know, affect what's going on inside tri -delta. And so just
be careful. - The landscape is always changing, you know? And you'll always respond
and we will respond as a leading organization to those changes that the whole focus
is on community and building our sisterhood. You know, I have to say something,
Mindy, that I learned about you that I just don't want everybody to know 'cause it
just makes me smile. It's a fun fact, and we'll end on some fun. In 2021, you
started a later in life sprinting career and earned a bronze medal, I may say,
for your 50 meter sprint at the San Diego Senior Games. That is true,
isn't it? - That is true. (laughing) - What inspired this endeavor?
- This was my mid -life crisis. Okay, we went to summer camp the kids and I went
to a camp that we go to Usually every or every other summer and there was a
family relay and I ended up running the sprint portion of the relay and my kids at
one point looked at me and said Are you should like you can't run? I don't know.
What are you doing? And sure enough? I kept saying it's fine I'm not going to do
this part. I'm not going to do the swim you guys do that And so as I was running
I remember hearing people along the way saying wow she's really fast and throughout
the rest of the day people were coming up to me at the camp and saying wow you
were so fast this morning and I knew from it like in elementary school I would
always do the sprints well when I played softball on the hill they called me wheels
because I ran the bases fast like so I always kind of knew I had but I'd never
run track or anything because I was too lazy and I did not want to run long
distances so this is okay admit that your that. Yes. And, but, you know, 50 yards,
I could beat anyone. That was always my mantra. Like, don't make me run two miles.
I'll be out. But 50, 50 yards, I can do. So this whole, this started a
conversation. It was much a try deltas, actually, who said, well, if you think you
can do this, maybe you can do this. Is there a race you could do? And so I
started looking and I got a trainer. Next thing I knew, I was training for the San
Diego senior games, because you can do the senior games when you're 50. And I had
just turn 50 and so there I was yeah and as I started into it I realized I had
injured I didn't know it at the time but I had begun injuring my hamstring over a
period of years and the trader was trying to help me you know do the warm -up
properly so my hamstring wouldn't hurt and so I took off running in the race and
about two -thirds I felt my whole hip shift and I tore my hamstring completely off
the bone so I don't know that this is like an inspirational story in the end
because I'm still dealing with injuries that come from that, but I have healed. I
have sprinted since then. I am fine to run again. I will probably never take this
up as a career, but yeah. But you have your bronze, you have your medal.
It's a great story, right? Oh my gosh. Okay, let's let's continue the fun a little
bit here. I wanted to give kind of a lightening round of questions for you if you
don't mind. So we're going to do one after the other. First question. If you could
swap jobs with anyone in the organization for a day, who would you swap with and
why? I think it would probably be somebody on the housing team on a day when we're
putting a house together to open it. And they're like going to home goods and
getting like the last few elements and decorating the shelves and making it look
beautiful. I just think It would be such a fun experience and I know they do it
and I'm glad they get to do it 'cause it's like a reward after a lot of hard
work but I think it would be so fun to decorate the house. - Well, maybe we can
make that dream come true for you, Mindy, in some way, shape or form. Now, guilty
pleasure. Is there a guilty pleasure in the form of a TV show or a movie that
brings you great comfort? - Yeah, I will do mindless television when I need to.
So I'll like get into a Gilmore girls or something like that. I could probably
watch the movie Pitch Perfect all day long every day. I'll just pick it up and
start watching because it makes me giggle and laugh and I love music. So yeah, I'm
one of those like mindless when I need it. Yeah, no, it makes total sense because
you need to take a break. So speaking of music, what's your go -to karaoke song?
So I do love music and I do love to sing.
My best friend's husband and I do a version of Tennessee Whiskey for karaoke that
everybody loves and I love it because I'm really just a backup singer and I get to
just like pop in at a pivotal moment and make the song better as he's the lead
but it's very fun to do. I can just picture it. How about the favorite way to
spend a Sunday.
I think fall Sundays are the best. I will get up and go to church and then I
know there's football and beautiful weather outs. I can take a hike or whatever but
I know at some point in the day I can sort of do the couch and watch football
and hang out with the kids. I love that. Are you a morning person or are you a
night out? I think I'm a morning person mostly. I can do late when I need to but
I do not have trouble getting up and getting going in the morning at all. And when
you're texting, what's your most used emoji? - I think the laughing till you're
crying and I use it too much, my kids are always telling me that's not cool
anymore, stop using that. But I still think it's appropriate for most things. - I
know you love that. The kids tell you how it is. Okay, last one. Coffee, tea or
energy drink? - I'm really a soda person. Yeah,
but I've given up regular sodas and I drink this special soda that's supposed to be
not as bad for you called Zevia and everybody laughs at me because I like carried
around with me when I travel. But yeah, I just, I need that carbonation. Yeah,
little bubble, little bubble's good. Well, Mindy, thank you for this time that we've
had together with you and we are so fortunate to have you leading tri -Delta. I
