VOLUME I, ISSUE V - FEBRUARY 2013
Hit the road, Jack! It's Time for Sectional Conferences!!

Pack your bags, grab a few snacks for the road and pick up your fellow chapter members! It's time to hit the road for the sectional conference season!!
 
Before you leave, remember that you and your chapter carry the Cardinal Principles with you everywhere you go, and are representatives of Alpha Phi Omega. That being said, it's always a good idea to review the Fraternity's Risk Management Policy  before the conference starts and remind your chapter of the standards set by this Policy. If you come across a situation that makes you uncomfortable, be sure to contact your section chair, regional director, or the Fraternity's Risk Management Director , as soon as possible.

Is your chapter ready for Spring Youth Service Day 2013? It is time again to participate in one of Alpha Phi Omega’s largest service events – Spring Youth Service Day.

Spring Youth Service Day is scheduled in conjunction with Global Youth Service Day, which is the world’s largest service event organized by our partner, Youth  Service America. This year Spring Youth Service Day and Global Youth Service Day are being held April 26-28, 2013.

Spring Youth Service Day reports are due May 1, 2013 and should be completed through the Chapter Officer Portal.
