Look at any large college campus and there could be up to 900 classes offered to teach it. So what is it? Leadership. Were you expecting that onc) Yes, from the commander in chief to an elementary school line leader, we are surrounded by leadership. We look to pastors, priests, parents, presidents, teachers and CEOs to guide us in what we do everyday. And , we look to ourselves to be organizers, facili tators and implementors of our time and abilities - we lead our own lives. It's no doubt that leaders are important, and that in some way, everyone is a leader.

Those are the kind of leaders we would like to build in Pi Phi: great leaders for great causes. Leaders who have a vision, make a plan and take action. Leaders who realize the cause and are ready to implement it. Through the Values Workshop, Pi Phi is presenting collegiate members with the great cause of upholding a lifelong tradition of developing friendships, serving others and leading. Through o the workshop, we are helping collegians take the first step to develop into leaders who can advance the cause well into alumnae life. In their book, "The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership," john C. Maxwell and Zig Ziglar out line 2 1 laws that mark a leader. A few of these laws include: really knOwing your final destination no matter how good the map is ; being trust\vorthy; encouraging buy-in to yourself, as well as the vision; and being connected to a person's heart before you ask for her help. However, one of the most pertinent laws is that it "takes a leader to raise a leader." As alumnae, you are the influence, the drive, the spark that can help collegians develop into great leaders. Through participating as an MC member, a CPP, an alumnae club member, a Directions mentor, or as a fellow Pi Phi family member you can help our collegians as a trust\vor thy friend who knows and can communicate the \1.sion , as well as connect to their heans.

Fall - 2002 Regional Leadership Retreats
Regional Leadership Retreats More than 200 alumnae from 119 clubs attended six Regional Leadership Retreats this spring. Locations for the RLRs included Birmingham, Alabama; Gettysburg, Pennsylvania; Indianapolis, Indiana; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Salt Lake City, Utah; and Irvine, California. Presentations on many subjects were given to help strengthen clubs. Sessions included training for Alumnae Club Presidents, programming for successful recruitment and retention of members, fund raisers that work, alumnae club program ming, and how to avoid burnout. A highlight at the RLRs was the SWOT exercise. Those attending were encouraged to decide what are the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) that the Fraternity faces. By partici pating, alumnae gave direction to future lJlanning and development for the Fraternity. rhe information will be used by a professional marketing firm, Dye Van Mol 1St Lawrence, in seeking to find effective ways for Pi Beta Phi to reach more of its member ship. Several RLRs purchased a btick or tree for the new Headquarters in honor of the RLR. There was overwhelming agreement among the attendees that RLRs provide great hands-on training and a great opportunity to exchange ideas, both of which benefit clubs. A big thank you to those who made Pi Phi a priority and spent the weekend with us. We hope to see even more of you in 2004!

Fall o 2002 • News & Not e s MSF Award Winner The Ford Award honors Mmilyn Simpson Ford, longtime editor of The ARROW. Established in 1989 by Pi Beta Phi, the honor is awarded each year at the College Fraternity Editors Association annual conference to an individual who represents a CFEA-member organization and who has distinguished himself through outstanding ser vice to CFEA. Not many people would compare fixing a sink to edit ing an article, butJess LaNore finds passion in both. "I'm in the same mindset when it comes time to edit ing a feature or conducting a home repair," the avid home restorer and recipient of this year's Marilyn Simpson Ford Award says. "There are many right ways and many wrong ways to complete either task. But most importantly, it's about making them work effec tively. " Alpha Kappa Psi's director of development was recog nized with the Ford Award during the College Fraternity Editors Association's awards banquet on June 1. Jess' service to CFEA dates back to 1996 when he attended his first confer ence in Lexington , Kentucky. Since 1996. he served on the directol)' committee and chaired the awards committee for three consecutive years. Today he is CFEA's preSident and is in his fourth term on the board of directors. While on the board he previously served as treasurer, and most recently as president-elect. "1 am vel)' thankful for this organization," Jess says. With little previous edit ing experience, Jess quickly learned to rely on CFEA and its resources. "Fraternal communications are unique. CFEA was the best place for me to enhance my communication skills." In addition to editing The Dial)' of Alpha Kappa Psi , Jess is responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of AKPsi's educational foundation. But dur ing his five years as director of communications, annual contributions to the foundation more than doubled, so this year he was moved from part-time to full time foundation status and was named director of development. However, he still edits the magazine, which is now a foundation publication. "My responsibilities have shifted many times since joining the professional Greek community," Jess says. "But the one thing that has never changed has been the need for clear and concise communication, whether it is writing solicita tion letters for our annual fund or editing alumni news for the magazine. " Fall o 2002 • News & Notes Oops! Pi Phi Headquarters has Moved! The Wyoming Alpha Chapter was incorrectly marked on the back cover of the Summer ARROW. The University of Wyoming is located in Laramie not in Ft. Laramie as indicated on the map. The Summer feature listed the number of Alumnae Panhellenic Groups at 4,826. There are 4,826 Alumnae Clubs. There are slightly more than 200 Alumnae Panhellenic Associations. The same feature incorrectly iden tified the National Pan-Hellenic Council as NAHC instead of NPHC.
