| A few of my holiday decorations. |
I’ve almost got my house decorated for the holidays. Each
year I put up the ribbons and garland inside and out and I’m reminded that it
is a labor of love. I love decorating my home and making it a warm and inviting
place for friends and family who will come to share their holidays with us. It
makes me happy to think about the fun-filled days, late night conversations and
wonderful memories that will be made with some of my favorite people. This is
also how I felt as I thought about the people I would see at this year’s
Association of Fraternity and Sorority Advisors (AFA) annual meeting. Certainly
I would see my NPC family and my dear Executive Committee friends but the other
group of people I love to see each year is the NPC Fraternity/Sorority Advisors
Committee members.
This committee was created to provide a warm and welcoming environment for thoughtful conversation (and some laughter) with one of our key constituent groups, our FSAs. This group provides us with great feedback on programs, educational pieces we are developing and general feedback on hot topics affecting their campuses. This information is tremendously beneficial to me as the NPC chairman. I can’t be everywhere and I certainly don’t get back to campus as much as I would like, so knowing that we have subject matter experts available to us is a tremendous blessing.
This year we had the opportunity to have lunch with our FSA Advisory Committee and true to form there was some great conversation and laughter, but above all there was a tremendous respect for the work of the committee and NPC and the collaboration and memories we are creating together.
