Alpha Chi Rhoad Show Episode 9: Judgment by Intrinsic Worth - What Employers Are Really Looking For
2021-04-20 19:00 - 20:00 | Online
Guest Host: Henry Glickel (Phi Eta Chi, 1985), author of “The Power of Proactive Recruiting”
A recording can be found here.
Having successfully conducted over 2,070 searches in the area of sales, accounting/finance, IT, Human Resources, Client Services, Managers, Vice Presidents, and members of the C-suite and Board of Directors for small and large private and public companies, Henry established his firm, Sales Recruiters, Inc., as only one of eight awarded and maintained the National Accredited Firm designation from the National Association of Personnel Services (NAPS).
This session will review the current job market in 2021 and what industries are booming and seeking talent. Henry will talk about the impact the pandemic has had on the mission pivots of corporations and the skill sets and qualities employers are now looking for in new employees as well as mid-level or transitioning employees. Whether you are a college students, a mid-career professional, or even a hiring manager in your company, this episode will provide general tips on what to look for or how to seek out “back pocket” skills on a resume or in an interview setting.

An acknowledged leader in the industry, Henry has been published several times and is the author of the book “The Power of Proactive Recruiting”, available in written, eBook and audiobook on Amazon, ITunes and Lulu Press. Henry holds a Magna Cum Laude MBA from Temple University. Additionally, Henry holds a BA with Highest Honors from Stockton University, and was initiated as a Brother of the Phi Eta Chi Chapter.

Designed to connect and engage Brothers in healthy dialogues, the Alpha Chi Rhoad Show is an online series created in April 2020 and airs as 60-minute “episodes” through Zoom video conferencing. Each episode hosts a Brother who is an industry expert for the chosen topic. Previous episodes can be found here.

106th National Convention
2021-06-01 - 2021-06-05 | National HQ
Due to COVID-19, the National Fraternity will be holding the 106th National Convention in a virtual format. The Convention will be June 1 – 5, 2021. The business meeting will be conducted on June 4 and 5, 2021. A full schedule can be found below.

Registration
Registration is now closed.
If you have any questions, please contact the National Headquarters Monday through Friday between 9 am – 4 pm at 732-869-1895 or via email at hq@alphachirho.org.

“Day of Service”
In 2019, Alpha Chi Rho launched their partnership with Habitat for Humanity at the local level with the Chapters and Colonies being the ‘boots on the ground’. However, this volunteer work shifted when the COVID-19 pandemic spread, with less Chapters/Colonies being able to hold in-person events.
This will be the “Day” that changes that. Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, philanthropic organizations across the country have been needing more volunteers now more than ever. However, we will need more than a day to complete this challenge.
This year for Convention, we will be completing the Day of Service in the span of a month. From April 12, 2021 to May 16, 2021 Chapters/Colonies will be participating in a Day of Service to their local Habitat for Humanity ReStore. There will be some requirements for each Chapter/Colony to complete:

Each Chapter/Colony must complete at least one “Day of Service” at their Local Habitat for Humanity ReStore. Chapters/Colonies can hold more than one throughout the month-long time frame.
During the service event, the Community Service / Philanthropy chair must photograph and document all of the help provided for hours and public relations.
Hours and some photos must be submitted to the National Fraternity by May 23, 2021.
The Chapter/Colony is responsible for coordination of the event, showing up on time, actively engaging at the ReStore, etc. National Staff will coordinate initial contact for each Chapter/Colony.
Fundraising for a donation to the ReStore is not directly required, but highly encouraged.

At Convention, we will present photos of not only Day of Service activities but also every event / fundraiser that the Chapter/Colony has done in the last two years for Habitat for Humanity. After Convention, the “Day of Service” will continue for every summer National event. During the Day, each Chapter/Colony will volunteer at their local ReStore providing service and help to whatever they need while delegates volunteer in the local area of the Convention or InDeed Institute.

If you have any questions, please reach out to the National office at 732-869-1895.

Resident Councillor Nominations Open
In preparation for the 106th National Convention, the nomination of two Resident Councillors and two alternate Resident Councillors for 2021-2022 is beginning in a virtual format. In order to be elected to the Resident Councillor position, the nominee must attend the Convention. If the nominee is not a delegate already, he may register at the link above.

THE CURRICULUM
The InDeed Institute is a curriculum that was developed for the Leadership Scholarship Institute (LSI) in 2016. There are four general large group sessions designed to address each of Alpha Chi Rho’s four Landmarks. Small group “Chapter” meetings highlight the founding principles of Character, Honor and Integrity. The interactive program allows for large group discussions aided by relevant inspirational videos, movie clips and news stories to illustrate specific elements of the landmarks. There is also a personal journal given to all participants. This allows for reflection, note-taking, and self and Chapter assessments to take home.
EXPENSES
The Alpha Chi Rho Educational Foundation completely funds two (2) participants per Chapter (3 per Colony). This includes lodging for three (3) nights, eight (8) meals (Thursday Dinner; Friday & Saturday B/L/D, and Sunday Brunch), nightly bonfires with s’mores, and use of the entire campsite including recreational fields and large/small group space. All participants are responsible for their own transportation to and from the campground. Additional delegates are welcomed, but at the Chapter’s expense.
