2017 Leadership Lecture Series- Financial Literacy 

A screenshot of the Nauticus partnership I had created for the chapter. I used several skills that were learned from my Leadership Lecture Series participation. Those skills learned from the Leadership Lecture Series included financial budgeting, networking, and utilization of fund tracking.

While serving as the Service Vice President for Alpha Phi Omega which is a service fraternity on the campus of Old Dominion University. I created a service event in partnership with Nauticus. I developed this plan by presenting it to the executive board members of the chapter, where I did receive constructive feedback on the logistics of the trip, I created a service committee which had two brothers involved, through the service sub-committee meetings we established points of contacts with Nauticus and informed outside brothers of how to attend the event.

The one thing I would do differently if tasked to create an event would be to create advertisement flyers. However, there are many things that I did in connection with the Leadership Lecture Series. The main skill I utilized was financial budgeting as the event need funding for parking of the brother’s vehicles, so while using the skill of financial budging I was able to plan how many brothers were intending to come to the event. While creating a budget of the brothers I knew where coming to the event I kept in mind of brothers that could arrive unannounced or at the last minute, knowing how to prepare for moments like this through the Leadership Lecture Series allowed me to take out an additional 20 percent as set aside money helped me prepare for the event and also decrease any issues.

A quick video reflecting my time with the Leadership Lecture Series and what I had learned from the experience.
