National Convention News Online

We are nine months away from our next National Convention in Louisville, KY, and the convention committee has put together an impressive online information package featuring three avenues of communication:

First, there is the Convention website, which is probably the best Alpha Phi Omega site I have ever seen in terms of design and appearance.

Second, they have set up a National Convention Listserve (through Yahoo!Groups) to send out updates and alerts. I recommend you sign up for this service.

Finally, the Convention has its own blog for providing up-to-date information. I hope it continues to be a good read.

A hearty thanks to the Convention committee for all their work on keeping the membership informed online.

Online Registration Payment for Section, Region Events

The National Office recently announced the establishment of a group rate through the Fraternity that provides Brothers an opportunity to accept online payments for events such as Section and Region Conferences. This is an avenue open for consideration by Chapters and Alumni Associations, but it appears at first light to still be higher cost than other services like PayPal.

2006 National Volunteer Conference

The 2006 National Volunteer Conference will be July 27th-30th at The Galt House Hotel in Louisville, KY. Information on the conference is available through the National Website, where you can also go ahead and register.

New National Website Up and Running

Alpha Phi Omega's national website has been redesigned and is now ready for enhanced use. I have been a little involved with this project, so I personally hope you find it useful. Let me know if you have any comments.
