SMALL WORLD 2006-07 Regional Conferences AN INSPIRATIONAL MEETING
Regional Conferences are a great way to develop your leadership skills and enhance your relationships with Alpha Phis in your area. Held each year, collegiate chapter officers and their advisers are encouraged to attend these grassroots meetings which allow for networking, sharing ideas and learning from others. Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity! Details about the conference in your area are listed below. Catherine Anaya, left, and Alison Bell meet. Alison holds the Spring 2001 Quarterly in which Catherine was featured.
When Embrace Today Concepts President Alison Bell (Delta Rho-Ball State) presented CBS Channel 5 (Phoenix) News Anchor Catherine Anaya (Beta Pi-USC) with an ivy plant on behalf of the Phoenix alumnae chapter during a local speaking engagement, the pair decided it was destiny they finally met. Catherine had been featured in the Spring 2001 Alpha Phi Quarterly, and Alison, a collegian at the time majoring in broadcast journalism, held onto the issue intending to ask Catherine for career advice. She never did, but their meeting came five years later. CO-WORKERS SHARE SISTERHOOD
Friends are made thanks to co-workers Alexandra Hirschkind (Kent State-Beta Omega) and Kelly Markin (Puget SoundGamma Zeta) discovering they are sisters.
