Letter from the Interim Executive Director

My Brothers of Alpha,

I hope this letter finds you mentally and physically well. Please allow me to introduce you to the latest edition of The Sphinx Magazine on “Answering The Call To Servant Leadership.”

In the previous edition, we highlighted our efforts to improve operational excellence within the General Office. This has been achieved through ensuring operational alignment; measuring and evaluating programs; and growing revenues. With the brand as a central focus, the General Office has sought to ensure consistency as well as reinforce and guard our brand identity. In addition, the new brotherhood engagement department also became more aligned with the communications department. Membership and IMDP revamped its systems and adopted a personal approach to servicing the Brotherhood. We have also worked to elevate the purview of the development and fundraising arm of the Fraternity, where we expanded our engagement with our partners to extend beyond the General Convention to our National Programs and Special Initiatives. We also taken a more conscious role through the internal control of our licensing program.

Under the leadership of General President Lonzer, we have embarked on the final component of his Elevating The Alpha Spirit platform – “Answering The Call To Servant Leadership.” As a General Office, we are working diligently to ensure the Brotherhood has the infrastructure to fully exercise their duty and role as ‘Men of Distinction’ to provide service and advocacy to our communities globally. This is accomplished not only through new tools, resources, and processes, but through our communications campaigns and creative collateral to showcase the servant leadership and work our Brothers are engaged in.

This issue is a product of that effort as we continue to recognize and celebrate you, Servants Of All! S

Eric Christopher Webb, DDiv., CPLC Editor
