Leadership
Our Vision of Leadership at APO Alpha Beta Xi:
Leadership is one of the three Cardinal Principles of Alpha Phi Omega. As a national organization, Alpha Phi Omega strives to develop our members as leaders through service to others. This approach builds the leadership skills of our members while fulfilling a need on campuses and in communities, therefore leaving a lasting impact on our nation.
Inclusive
Empowering
Purposeful
Ethical
Process-Oriented
Alpha Phi Omega develops the leadership skills of its members through shared leadership. Our members have the opportunity to serve as a chapter officer or to plan and execute any number of volunteer projects and social programs, as well as have the chance to participate in a variety of leadership development programs sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega. Additionally, Alpha Phi Omega facilitates educational programs to help guide our members through the process of becoming leaders and improving current leadership skills.
How We Practice Leadership:
Executive Board Positions
Each semester, every brother is given an equitable opportunity to run for a position (no matter how much time they have in our organization).
Appointed Positions
Every brother is also given an opportunity to apply for an appointed position under an executive board officer every semester!
Leadership Coordinator
One of the most important leadership roles in our organization is our Leadership Coordinator. This individual oversees all leadership initiatives and leads an MD.
Committee Chairs
Every semester, each brother needs to engage in one type of service committee. Every brother is given an opportunity to step up and chair a committee if they have an idea in mind for a service project or if they just want to take on the leadership role of an existing committee.
Membership Developments
Every Thursday and Sundays, New Members engage in the process of Membership development. MDs are meant to help foster growth and promote our three main pillars: Leadership, Friendship, and Service.
Service
Lastly, we practice civic responsibility through the service projects we carry out. By being a brother in APO, you are automatically a leader in our community!
