Embracing the Future Together: A New Biennium for Alpha Omicron Pi
Chantel Schieffer, Alpha Phi (Montana State U), International Vice President
As we embark on this exciting new biennium, it is with great enthusiasm that we welcome our freshly elected Executive Board. We recently gathered for our first retreat together, an inspiring and energizing experience that has prepared us to lead Alpha Omicron Pi into a future filled with connection, possibility, and innovation. This period marks not only the beginning of a new leadership chapter but also a renewed commitment to the principles that unite us as a sisterhood.
One of our primary goals is to strengthen the connections within our organization, ensuring that every member—both alumnae and collegiate—feels informed, engaged, and valued. As the Chair of the Membership Connection and Board Development Committee, I am excited about many ideas cultivated during our retreat that will enhance how we engage with all of you. Our collective strength lies in the bonds we share, and nurturing these connections is essential for our continued success.
In the coming months, we will be focusing on open communication and collaboration. Whether you are an alumna reflecting on cherished memories or a collegiate member navigating your academic journey, we aim to keep you connected to AOII in ways that are important to you. Look forward to more interactive experiences, such as virtual gatherings, and regular updates highlighting our ongoing work and achievements. These platforms will enable a dynamic dialogue where your insights and feedback are instrumental in shaping our collective journey forward.
Our commitment to the future of higher education is unwavering. We recognize the rapidly evolving higher education landscape and are dedicated to ensuring that Alpha Omicron Pi remains at the forefront of these developments. As Board members, we are consistently examining these changing dynamics in order to best prepare our organization for what lies ahead – not just this year but for the years and decades yet to come.
As we navigate this journey of Board service, we invite every member to actively participate and engage with us. Your involvement is crucial to our collective success. Together, we can create a vibrant, supportive, and empowering environment where every sister can flourish.
Each member of your Executive Board is honored to serve you. We are excited about the journey ahead and we hope that you are, too. Here’s to a biennium filled with growth, connection, and shared accomplishments. Let’s go!
