Hello District Two,

Wow! is my initial reaction to what happened at this year’s International Convention in San Jose, California. From the first night with our Regional Meeting, to the last night at the Hallmark Awards Gala, I could not be prouder of the Alabama Region and the hard work each chapter has put in over the past year.

I would like to congratulate every chapter in District Two who won a Hallmark Award this year. I would also like to congratulate all those who were honored for the scholarships many of you all have received as well. The hard work each one of you put in this year made the Alabama Region one of the Most Distinguished Regions, an honor only three Regions receive every year. I believe that this year was only the beginning of how amazing the Alabama Region will be. A standard has now been set by the Region to continue this excellence.

International Convention was truly a life changing event for me. I have never been to anything like it, and I know that I hope that I will never forget this trip for the rest of my life. I have definitely drunk the “Kool-aid” of Phi Theta Kappa many seem to be talking about. Though International Convention was amazing, I have been informed by both Jeff and Nora that I have not experienced even the best event Phi Theta Kappa has to offer yet.

Our next event will be the Honors Institute which will take place June 17th-22nd at Villanova University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I hope to see as many chapters from District Two there as possible. I hope you are anticipating this trip as much as I am, and I hope to be in contact with each of you before just to get an idea on who all is going.

Once again, I would like to encourage you to contact me about your Spring and/or Fall Inductions coming up this year as well. I would love to attend and support what your specific chapter is doing and I am here to serve you over the next year. I want to encourage you that I would love to help your chapter out as well on your upcoming Honors in Action and College Projects over the next year, which I hope you are preparing now. If that is not possible, I would just simply love to attend a chapter meeting so that we can have some personal time together over the next year.

I would once again say thank you for how amazing you all made International Convention this year. I look forward to the working for you the next year. If I can assist your chapter in any way, contact me by sending a text, an e-mail, or giving me a call.
