CELEBRATE LEADERSHIP – DEVELOP A LEADERSHIP AWARD FOR YOUR CHAPTER
The 2006 National Convention directed that Chapters be encouraged to develop an award designed to recognize individual leadership excellence, both inside and outside the Fraternity, to be presented by Spring 2008.
Chapters that currently do not have such an award in place are asked to create and present such an award this spring and report this to their Regional LD Chair or Regional Director.
FIRST NATIONAL LEADERSHIP AWARD TO BE PRESENTED AT THE NATIONAL CONVENTION
At the 2008 National Convention, Alpha Phi Omega will present the first National Leadership Award to the Chapter with the best overall leadership program.
More information, award criteria and applications will be available to Chapters this spring or via www.apo.org.
