Arizona Region's Official
Regional Officer Candidate Guide
         Dear Potential Regional Officer Candidate:

So you want to be a Regional Officer? Regional officers serve an integral role in the Society - a critical link between international and local Phi Theta Kappa chapters. In the words of famous author, Donald H. McGannon, "Leadership is an action; not a position."  Though the title and the perks are nice, the real fulfillment comes in the "doing" of the job: from assisting chapters with their International programs to meeting other Phi Theta Kappa members here in Arizona, as well as the International community.  It's about learning, growing, implementing and sharing.  Basically, it's all the Hallmarks rolled up into one tidy package of experience.
