Thank You for Helping Inspire, Innovate and IGNITE at the National Convention

The 43rd Biennial National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, was an amazing success with the Cardinal Principles alive and well throughout the four-day event. More than 2,000 brothers from across the country gathered together December 27-30, 2014, to develop themselves as leaders, enjoy fellowship, be of service and handle important legislative business. The Fraternity welcomed a new Board of Directors, saw great attendance at various workshops and APO LEADS courses, awarded Dr. Beth Tom the National Distinguished Service Key and handed the Convention flame over to the 2016 bid team from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Thank you to all of the brothers who were able to join us for the 2014 National Convention and to the Steering Committee and all other volunteers who worked hard to make it an incredible event.
