Volunteer Experience Survey
In an effort to guide our volunteer management program, AFA is soliciting feedback from current volunteers. We need your suggestions for improving the overall volunteer experience. Please take a few minutes to complete this brief survey no later than August 10, 2007.

Volunteer of the Month

David Adams serves AFA on the Annual Meeting Onsite Arrangements Committee. His committe chair describes him as "the type of committee member who wants to do a good job and is willing to make the effort to accomplish his goals. He currently is working on a Cincinnati guide for the next Annual Meeting and has been outstanding at meeting his deadlines. David lets me know when he has feedback for me and I know that he is the committee member to go to for help." Thanks David!

Please contact the Central Office to recommend a Volunteer of the Month.

President’s Update
It is hard to believe that the summer is half over and that most of us, in less than a month, will be knee deep in back-to-school preparation, recruitment craziness, and all the fun that is start of another year of school!

I dare say that the AFA Executive Board and Central Office staff have been quite busy, in what many consider the “off-season” for fraternity and sorority professionals. June was an incredibly hectic month. In fact, it seems Linda Wardhammar, our Executive Director, and I spent more time together than apart for a six week period. So, in the spirit of the summer, I’ll “dive right in” with an update of Association business.
