Brothers:
Please allow me to be the first of what I am sure will be many comments you
are likely to hear in the coming months about the terrific success of the first
National Volunteer Conference.
From the very beginning, it was clear that this was NOT "your grandma's SRW."
The wonderful keynote speaker from the Greenleaf Center set the tone for the
weekend -- offering a reflective and thoughtful series of comments on the need
for A-Phi-O, and its mission of Servant Leadership.
The multi-track structure of the workshops/training allowed every volunteer
in attendance to specialize his/her personal development. From helping chapters
as Advisors, to helping extension efforts, to serving on the National Board
of Directors -- there was truly something for everyone.
Mealtime was used as an opportunity to discuss important issues confronting
the Fraternity and to update our folks in "the field" on the progress of our
many National Program Areas. Additionally, scheduled "Focus Groups" allowed for
even further critical looks at the direction the Fraternity is taking.
With well over 150 in attendance, the conference proved to be one of the
largest and most diverse gatherings of our alumni/volunteers outside of a National
Convention -- and with a goal of over 300 for next year -- it promises only
to get bigger and better.
There are many thanks due to Brother Julie Moore, AIVD PD, and her incredible
team (including Kari Logan, Rob Coop, Laura Fowler, and Bob London). Thanks
to the great national office staff for their assistance and participation, to
the many presenters from within and outside our ranks, and, of course, to every
participant who came committed to growth and left prepared for action.
Consider this an early commercial for the NVC 2005 -- and plan to attend. Our
Fraternity stands to benefit from your dedication to learning and sharing.
And if you have not yet attended a LAUNCH course for the APO LEADS program, do
it soon and learn about how to be a true Servant Leader.
Remember: A-Phi-O: Where Service Starts! [and service starts with us!]
Fraternally,
- Jim Hahn, CFRE
National LD and Marketing Committees
