The Midwestern Region held its Leadership Staff Meeting and College Brothers Retreat Summit the weekend of October 15 ~ 16, 2010 at the Louisville Downtown Marriott Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky (host site of the 79th Midwestern Regional Convention).The weekend began with two outstanding workshop sessions. Bro. Robert E. Bedford, who is the region’s training and development coordinator, presented an engaging workshop called “The Truths about Leadership”, that focused on ten key areas that every Alpha man must possess. From there, Ms. Cornelia Shipley of 3C Consulting elevated the leadership conversation by having members interactively participate in honoring our legacy and how we can and must impact leadership, Alpha, and the 21st Century. Members left with an individual plan designed to successfully improve and influence outcomes in their personal life, career, and Alpha Phi Alpha.
Bro. Cameron M. Thierry, Midwestern Regional Asst. Vice President, also facilitated activities to foster and engage college brothers of the Midwestern region in the Introspection of Alpha. It was an opportunity for college brothers to gain a greater understanding and appreciation of fraternity values, attitudes, beliefs, and expectations. We also thank Bro. Evan J. Glover, Sigma Delta Elon University, who encouraged our college brothers to accept accountability for their academic excellence.
Brothers also had the opportunity for fellowship and experience what Louisville has to offer as the fraternity will be back to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of Alpha Lambda chapter in April 2011.
