Greetings, Brothers of the Eastern Region
In the spirit of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., we are honored to extend a warm welcome to each of you as we gather for the 93rd Annual Eastern Regional Convention, which will take place from April 17th to April 20th, 2025 at the Bethesda North Marriott, Bethesda, MD. This year, our convention theme is "Securing The Legacy, Brick By Brick." This statement serves as both a reflection on the monumental contributions of Alpha men throughout history and as a charge to prepare for the challenges and opportunities that await us.
In a world increasingly driven by technological advancement, this year’s convention will explore and embrace digital innovation and artificial intelligence (AI). The education, cultivation, leveraging, and mastery of emerging technologies will aid us in thoughtful, efficient, and effective leadership in our communities.
From panel discussions to interactive workshops, we invite you to immerse yourself in this experience, to honor the legacies of the Alpha giants upon whose shoulders we stand, and to embrace the opportunity to chart a new course for the future. This will prepare Alpha men to remain at the forefront of education, business, politics, and social justice.
We are the inheritors, keepers, and guardians of our fraternity’s rich legacy. This legacy demands that all Alpha men are equipped to lead in the 21st century and beyond with courage, integrity, and a deep commitment to excellence in all fields of human endeavor.
Together, we will reaffirm our commitment to the Brotherhood, recognizing that the strength of our fraternity resides in our collective vision and dedication. We look forward to supporting, encouraging, collaborating, and learning from our college Brothers. The bonds we strengthen here will empower us all.
As we look toward Bethesda, Maryland, our host chapters await our arrival and are eager to showcase AlphaEast’s best. We encourage early registration and invite you to bring your families as we create memories that will last a lifetime.
We look forward to building a better tomorrow.
First of All, Servants of All, We Shall Transcend All.
Brother Christopher G. Ellis, 29th Eastern Regional Vice President
Brother Yousef Omer, 63rd Eastern Regional Assistant Vice President
