Dear Alpha Phi Omega Alumni,01June07
Alpha Phi Omega in Region XI, which is the Northwest 5 states of Alaska, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana, is continuing to grow. This message is intended to share with you our progress and also ask you to consider in helping us expand to other schools and support our current chapters even better.
We are asking for help with regional positions and committees of Service, Extension, Membership, Friendship, Scouting and Youth Services, Leadership Development, Finance, Marketing, Alumni, Communications, Awards & Appreciation and Advisor Relations. Please visit our Region XI website, Staff link for additional descriptions and contacts.
An area that we are specifically focused on for this summer & early fall, are our Chapters with No Members. We are asking for your help to bring Alpha Phi Omega back to these campuses by being an Advisor, contacting faculty that you know for assistance and asking for help from alumni that you know that live near these schools.
We are also looking for alumni to be the Sponsor of extension groups for schools that we are targeting. The ability for us to start Alpha Phi Omega on these additional Target schools depends on having local alumni support and undergraduate interest. We are asking for your support as Advisors for our Good Standing chapters too. Chapter Advisors are critical to help sustain an ongoing presence on a school. The Region XI chapters, extension groups and target schools are listed here.
