Thanks!
As you may know, in Alpha Phi Omega the Program Director position is elected at-large. The President of the fraternity then appoints the program directors to one of five existing program areas as well as a sixth one that he or she creates.
I decided to run for a PD position when I decided that my skills and knowledge allowed me to perform the tasks of any of those program areas.
Alumni Relations and Internal Volunteer Development: Plenty of alumni relations leadership and years of service as a volunteer; plus experience training volunteers.
Finance and Operations: Experience developing a budget with an emphasis on revenue generation; attention to the ethics involved in being on a board of directors by working directly with several as an employee.
Leadership Development: Participation in APO LEADS; I also have a keen eye for evaluation and assessment.
Membership and Extension: I've served on a national task force related to membership issues and I have been sponsor to one successful extension effort and one that was not successful.
Service: I've been instrumental in linking Alpha Phi Omega chapters with local service partners. I've also drafted legislation to (hopefully) make HIV/AIDS a national program of emphasis for 2011-12 in conjunction with the White House national HIV strategy. I also view this position as needed a keen eye for evaluation and assessment to use our hard service stats to promote our national impact.
I could rank those five. But I won't
