Dear Subscriber


The 2011 National Volunteer Conference is just around the corner and you don’t want to miss out on this great opportunity. The National Volunteer Conference is a conference available to anyone who volunteers for Alpha Phi Omega! This includes chapter advisors, sectional chairs, sectional and regional committee members, national committee members, alumni interested in getting involved, extension sponsors, and recent graduates.

This is the only conference dedicated to the volunteers that make Alpha Phi Omega a great fraternity, and you don’t want to miss out. Whether you are a seasoned volunteer or a recent grad, NVC will help increase the value of your volunteer experience while at the same time helping to strengthen the Fraternity.
