National Leadership Development Program
The National Leadership Development Program of Alpha Phi Omega incorporates a series of courses, libraries, and programs that are there for our members to further educate themselves on how to become a better leader, and how to better serve the Fraternity. The program is administered by the National Leadership Development Committee, under the guidance of the National Leadership Program Director, Ed Richter, who sits on the National Board of Directors.
There are many training opportunities available for you to learn & demonstrate leadership abilities!
APO
Impact
The APO Impact program is an online officer training program which provides resources to help chapter officers, as well as members, perform their duties and service projects better. Alpha Phi Omega recognizes that its members are the best and most experienced contributors to this content and this program is designed to gives them the opportunity to communicate with and educate other members in a new and dynamic format.
APO LEADS
The APO
LEADS program consists of five individual modular components
of leadership development. Each of these modular components focus
on skills that will help the participant be a successful leader and
team member in Alpha Phi Omega and in life. At the completion of
the series of courses, the participant will have a set of
transferable skills that are applicable to Alpha Phi Omega, to the
working world, as well as to leadership in other
organizations.
Chapter Assessment & Planning Session (CAPS)
The Chapter Assessment and Planning Session (CAPS) is a tool to help the chapter identify its goals and begin to plan its program for the coming year, based on an assessment of the past year. The end result of the CAPS is documentation of goals and desires in a form that will help the chapter officers develop and implement plans for the coming year in a manner that represents what the chapter sees as most important. Further, it helps to think of planning as a cycle, not a straight-through process. Approaching planning as a cycle will help the chapter to ensure that plans are fully considered, well focused, flexible, practical, and effective. It will also provide an opportunity to evaluate and learn from any challenges that occur and then feed this information back into future planning and decision making.
Leadership Resources Clearinghouse
The Leadership Resources Clearinghouse is
a program sponsored by the National Leadership Development
Committee of Alpha Phi Omega that is intended to provide an archive
for workshop materials, specifically lecture notes, slides,
handouts, and other documents that can be used by members of Alpha
Phi Omega. Materials submitted to the Clearinghouse are released
more or less, "as is," (with some minor modifications made for
spelling and grammar).
