Awards
Although Alpha Phi Omega as a national organization has a strong award and recognition program, Region Q strives to recognize individuals, programs, and overall volunteerism amongst its members and chapters. These programs focus on our three cardinal principles of Leadership, Friendship, and Service.
Nominators must be chapters in good standing within Region Q. They must submit the application by the deadline via email or postal service to the Region Q Awards Coordinator. All applications must be received at least 24 hours in advance of a Region Q business meeting.
