| What Alumni Can Do For You! |
| This will be a multipart series taken from the packet "Supporting the People, Programs and Priorities of Phi Theta Kappa: What Alumni Can Do For You!" This was supplied to me by Mike Sager at the 2005 Regional Leadership Convention. I found it to be very informative and thought that more than just attendees should have the information. This month I shall post the first page. At the end of each segment I will always publish the contact information needed. |
| Purpose of Alumni Association |
| The purpose of the Phi Theta Kappa Alumni Association is to support and promote the people, programs, and priorities of the Phi Theta Kappa Society, fostering and encouraging the communication and affiliation among all almuni and friends. These Alumni and friends have valuable contributions to make to this Association through continuing the experience of fellowship by working with others who have shared in the Phi Theta Kappa experience. Together the alumni and friends can help insure a bright future for a new generation of scholars and leaders. |
