Brothers,
I would like to invite you all one last time to participate in an upcoming SERVE weekend course of the APO LEADS program that will take place in Knoxville Tn on February 17-19.
SERVE weekends are focused on chapter and project management.
THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS COURSE ARE:
• To provide a framework for effective chapter management.
• To give participants transferable skills that may be used in their careers beyond Alpha Phi Omega.
• To provide future Fraternity leaders with management skills.
• To add to the skill-sets learned in other APO LEADS courses.
• To create a project plan in small groups that can be adapted at the chapter level.
• To practice project management skills.
• To incorporate the servant chapter organizational function and apply it to the project plan.
• To apply the servant leadership characteristics throughout the weekend.
• To commit brothers to applying the skills learned in their home chapters.
This is a weekend experience giving participants the opportunity to learn skills needed to develop chapter management skills. The course will focus on small group process where participants develop an actual project plan that can be used by their chapters.
COURSE OVERVIEW:
