December 2004… More than 1,400 Brothers joined together in Denver,Colorado, to participate in Alpha Phi Omega’s 38th National Convention. The four-dayevent was a memorable experience for everyone.

The Fellowship Banquet speaker was Past President Lawrence “Pinky” Hirsch, M.D.,who shared a thoughtful message about our founding from Past President Dr. H. RoeBartle. Thirty years ago when Dr. Bartle was in the hospital, realizing he was drawingclose to the end of a vibrant life, he shared information with Pinky. He requested thatdetails about the vital role he and Herbert G. Horton played in the early years of the for-mation and development of the Fraternity be shared in the future. The clarification of ourhistory was met with great enthusiasm from those in attendance.

The keynote speaker for the Awards Banquet was Brother Togo West. He embracedthe audience with inspirational words about how the Fraternity helped him to becomethe public servant he is today and about how we should all teach the life we live. Whatwould it mean if every member of our Fraternity worked unselfishly at teaching the lifewe live? Alpha Phi Omega would undoubted-ly leave an even bigger impact on this world.

In addition, the business of the Fraternitywas carried out by our Voting Delegates, whoreviewed and debated legislation (see pages 12-15) and elected new officers. One part of thelegislation, which received much debate, sug-gested changes to our Toast Song. The legisla-tion did not pass and opinions remain strong onboth sides of this topic. We look forward to see-ing you in Louisville, Kentucky, in 2006!

Our Truly Great ResponsibilityToday in Arkansas:

■ 82 children were reported as abused or neglected■ 18 children were placed in foster homes■ Only one child was adopted from Foster Care■ 36 children dropped out of school■ 73 teens, ages 12-17, used an illicit drug■ 47 teens were arrested■ 5 teens were placed in correctional facilities■ 158,000 children went to bed hungry■ One child died before reaching her first birthday

This is one day in one state. Multiply these numbers by 365 and again by50, and again by the percentages of youth in our country. Still again add in theconcerns of the elderly, the adult homeless, the adult neglected, and the adultpremature death rates. And again add in the natural disasters of floods, hurri-canes, etc. and we find the statistics overwhelming. The needs of our world aregreat. Alpha Phi Omega’s opportunities are endless!

We in Alpha Phi Omega have the great opportunity to affect the lives ofchildren, teens, adults and seniors in communities and on campuses throughoutour nation. We in Alpha Phi Omega have the great opportunity to, as the moviesays, PAY IT FORWARD to those who are in most need. We in Alpha PhiOmega have the great opportunity to achieve results at the local level throughour efforts as a National Fraternity.

Over the next two years our Fraternity will face and address many issues atmany levels. We will be looking at the structure of our national organization tosee if there is a better way to serve our members, host campuses and service part-ners. We will be striving to find more effective and efficient ways of deliveringservices to our active and alumni membership. We will be introspective in exam-ining the image we project to the world outside our Brotherhood. We will striveto increase meaningful partnerships with like-vision organizations. Ultimately,we will position Alpha Phi Omega to be the nation’s premier collegiate servant-leader organization.

Promises have been made, so now is the time for action. I want to partnerwith you to help Alpha Phi Omega grow and succeed. I want to partner withyou to make our Fraternity not only a collegiate experience, but also a lifelongcommitment. I want to partner with you to help each member of APO becomean effective leader in his or her community and profession. I ask that our actionsover the next two years focus on growing our Fraternity – growth in member-ship, growth in service, and growth in developing servant leaders. I ask that ourFraternity be committed to using the Servant Chapter Model at all levels ofoperations. And I ask that our strong bond of Brotherhood continue to grow tobe more tolerant and inclusive.

As my term of office begins as Alpha Phi Omega’s 22nd National President,it is with a flood of emotions and being very humbled by the faith shown in meto lead our great Fraternity. I’m committed to working hard on your behalf andadvancing our Cardinal Principles of Leadership, Friendship and Service. So joinme on this adventure, working as a team and utilizing each other’s strengths tocontinue to develop Alpha Phi Omega into the nation’s premier collegiate servant-leader organization.

RESOLUTIONS

Alumni Relations and Internal VolunteerDevelopmentADVISOR’S GUIDEWhereas, the current Advisor’s Guide only provides avery general description of the chapter advisor position,and Whereas, Chapters and advisors are in need of moreclarification of advisors’ duties and expectations, andWhereas, Chapters are in need of additional advisorrecruitment, retention, and educational aids,Be it resolved that the National Alumni Relations andInternal Volunteer Development Committee revise theAdvisor’s Guide to address these issues at the advisorylevel. Be it further resolved that the National AlumniRelations and Internal Volunteer DevelopmentCommittee develop and create reference materialsspecifically for the chapter leadership to further educatethem in what to expect from their advisors, and howthey can better utilize their advisors.

ALUMNI ANNUAL DUESWhereas, there is currently an impression that AlumniAssociations receive little in return for those dues, andWhereas, we can utilize our internal volunteer networkand the National Alumni Relations and InternalVolunteer Development Committee, as well as addition-al fundraisers, to provide many services with little cost, ifany, to the Fraternity, Be it resolved that the National Alumni Relations andInternal Volunteer Development Committee developand implement a plan to provide additional support andservices for properly recognized Alumni Associations.Beit further resolved that as part of developing and imple-menting a plan for providing additional support, theNational Alumni Relations and Internal VolunteerDevelopment Committee shall consult with the proper-ly recognized Alumni Associations to determine theirneeds. Be it further resolved as a minimum level of sup-port for recognized Alumni Associations, including butnot being limited to, being provided with copies of theNational Bylaws and other pertinent national docu-ments and publications, such as the Chapter Bulletin,and also receiving access to the National FraternityDatabase for assisting in membership expansion andmaintenance, in the same manner that chapters haveaccess to this information.

NATIONAL MAN MILE AWARDBe it resolved that the National Fraternity create andadopt a National Man Mile Award to recognize thosechapters that have accumulated the most “man miles” intraveling to a National Convention.

The number of man miles would becalculated for every chapter attending a NationalConvention, and the chapter with the greatest totalwould be named the recipient of the award. The ManMile Award would be presented every two years, in con-junction with the Alpha Phi Omega NationalConvention, beginning in 2006.Be it further resolved that the National Man MileAward be named in honor of John S.
