PATRICIA L. BROLIN-RIBI BIOGRAPHY

Patti is a native of western Montana, and attended the University of Montana, where she

earned her B.A. in Interpersonal Communications and her J.D. in Law. She and her husband,

Nils Ribi, live in Sun Valley, Idaho. Patti practiced law for 30 years and recently retired.

Patti has been a P.E.O. for 41 years and feels fortunate to have shared P.E.O. with her mother,

who was a past president of Montana State Chapter. She is a member of Chapter AM, Idaho, a

past president of Idaho State Chapter, and a past trustee and chairman of the P.E.O.

Foundation. She is currently serving as second vice president of International Chapter.

Patti volunteers with numerous community groups, including the Sun Valley Summer

Symphony, the Boulder Mountain Ski Tour, and the Sun Valley Center for the Arts. She is a

trustee emeritus of the University of Montana Foundation.

Patti greatly appreciates the support of her BIL, Nils. He is President of Ribi Corporation, a

private investment firm, and an avid photographer. Together they enjoy travel, time at their

cabin in the mountains, and many outdoor activities in all seasons of the year. Highlights have

included reaching the summit of Mount Rainier, and earning advanced certification for scuba

diving.

Patti is pleased to be a part of the P.E.O. International Leadership Team, and is delighted to

represent International Chapter at the 2018 convention of Utah State Chapter.

SONG LYRICS FOR P.E.O. CONVENTION 2018

O Canada

O Canada! Our home and native land!

True patriot love in all of us command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,

The True North strong and free!

From far and wide, O Canada,

We stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Star Spangled Banner

O say can you see by the dawn’s early light,

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming,

Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,

O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?

And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;

O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,

O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

P.E.O. Grace

We give thee thanks dear Lord above,

For food and health and all thy love.

Grant that our sisterhood may grow,

Look down and bless our P.E.O.
