What is the process for a member to earn a leadership position in AOII?

Earning a leadership position in Alpha Omicron Pi (AOII) is fundamentally rooted in active engagement and the fulfillment of responsibilities within one's chapter. This means that members who consistently take part in chapter activities, participate in planning and execution of events, and demonstrate a commitment to the organization create a strong foundation for their leadership potential. By actively contributing to their chapter's success, members not only refine their leadership skills but also gain the trust and respect of their fellow members, which is crucial for being considered for a leadership role.

While other options, such as being nominated by another member, completing a leadership training program, or attending a national conference, can certainly support a member's journey toward leadership, they complement rather than replace the importance of active engagement in fulfilling one’s responsibilities. Leadership positions are typically entrusted to those who have established themselves as reliable, dedicated members through consistent involvement in the chapter.
