APO IMPACT Live is a series of Web-based educational seminars offered on a weekly basis throughout the semester. These webinars are intended to give brothers valuable information they can use to improve their Fraternity experience. The program covers a wide variety of topics, and all webinars are presented by brothers with skill and expertise in the topic being presented.
APO IMPACT Live is gradually being expanded to provide information and training to assist all aspects of Alpha Phi Omega, including chapter officers, chapter operations, alumni, advisors, and many others. The webinar format also allows brothers to interact and ask questions to the presenter in real time without having to travel to a conference or other Fraternity event.
Since the following sessions are presented live to chapters around the United States the start times will vary with time zone.
Sessions will be presented during the following times (according to time zone):
9:00 PM Eastern
8:00 PM Central
7:00 PM Mountain
6:00 PM Pacific
5:00 PM Alaskan

How to use Chapter Assessment & Planning Sessions |
The Chapter Assessment and Planning Session (CAPS) is a tool to help the chapter identify its goals and begin to plan its program for the coming year, based on an assessment of the past year. It should identify areas the chapter wants to improve on and key events or activities the chapter wants to see happen. The end result of the CAPS is documentation of these goals and desires in a form that will help the chapter officers develop and implement plans for the coming year in a manner that represents what the chapter as a whole sees as most important. |
