Most of you will recall the award ZXAA received in 2006 for “New Outstanding Alumni Association” from Pi Kappa Alpha. At that time this was the only award ZX had received from The Pi Kappa Alpha International Fraternity. Many of you have also heard me say that from that point on we will be competing with the big boys, Alumni Associations from across the country. The William R. Nester Award is given out annually and only ONE Association receives this prestigious award each year.
It is with great joy I announce the winner of the 2011 William R. Nester Award-Outstanding Alumni Association- to Zeta Chi Alumni Association at Missouri State University.
We will receive our award at a banquet July 30, 2011 at Pike Academy in Memphis, TN. Myself and several others will attend and accept the award. All Zeta Chi alumni and chapter members are asked to attend and enjoy this moment. I have attached a link for those attending to register, http://www.cvent.com/events/2011-academy/agenda-f4bf174ef87b4c89bf0a96ff7a2009ea.aspx
We won this because of you the alumni! ZXAA committee has provided much support and leadership over the years and the committee should and will be recognized at our next event at Homecoming. This award is a reflection of all ZX alumni and their commitment to ZX and the Fraternity. Our success is most prominent by returning ZX to Missouri State University. This event clearly above all else shows what ZX alumni have done. Without alumni ZX would never have returned to MSU. The “return of service” of our 1940 fire truck is another example of what ZX alumni can do and was recognize by our award. We need your continued support with annual dues to maintain the activities and support the ZX colony. We need everyone to step up, pay your annual dues, and support ZXAA with payment of your annual dues. Here is the link to our Paypal site or send me your $50 check made to ZXAA, 1638 S. Enterprise, Springfield, MO 65804.
All of us should be very proud to receive this award and my hope is many will join us in Memphis in celebration. See you in Memphis….Very well done boys!
