Hello Phi Theta Kappans!!!
This is your International Vice President from Division III, and I've had some amazing experiences during fall travel this semester.
I first traveled to New Mexico for their Regional Honors in Action Conference, and was blown away by the beautiful scenery driving to Los Alamos and by the friendliness of the members there. The conference was informative and interactive, and members had opportunity to ask questions and think critically about what they had heard after every presentation. It was a pleasure giving the Headquarters Update here, as a lot of the members (and advisors alike) asked great questions! New Mexico is a region with a lot of heart and soul, and I'm looking forward to seeing the awesome things they are going to accomplish this year.
The very next weekend I was excited to travel to the Ohio region for their Honors in Action conference in Cleveland. The entire experience in Ohio was excellent- fro start to finish. The Regional Officer team took great care of me while I was there, as well as the Ohio alumni association- the Alphas. Anyone looking for a strong alumni association to model after would do well to get in touch with these dynamos! The entire conference was well thought out and interactive- from the discussion Friday night about censorship and the Democratization of Information to the breakout sessions held on Saturday. It was exciting to see so many members interested in running for Regional and International Office in the spring... these are Ohio's leaders of tomorrow, and I can't wait to see the region in NASHVILLE!!!
Both of the regions I visited were having discussions about chartering a regional bus to the Annual Convention in Nashville. I hope all of our regions are having discussions about helping each other get to Nashville! Have you seen the video at youtube.com/phithetakappa yet?
If you missed out on the big announcements in the Ning chst this week, or if you want to be in the know about the Phi Theta Kappa happenings, be sure to check in on Phi Theta Kappa on the web. There are a lot of exciting things happening very soon on the Phi Theta Kappa Facebook page, so make sure to keep checking back! (Hint: How many members are there in the group?)
I want to send a big thank you to all of the members, advisors, and regional officers and coordinators who have welcomed their International Officers to regional events... interacting with you and giving you more tools to make your Phi Theta Kappa experience even better is the reason why we put so much heart and soul into our positions as International Officers. If we can serve you in any way, please feel free to get in touch via Facebook or email any time!
Phi Theta Kappa HUGS!!!
