This past spring we held two recruitment schools in the attempt to help our chapters around the nation take care of their biggest problem: finding and recruiting quality men to become AGRs. In these schools we go over a basic sales training format. We teach the VNR -Recruitment and other chapter members that selling yourself is the first step.

There is a lot more to the school than this, but it is all based on personalized, year-round recruitment rather than “rushing” once a semester or year.

On Saturday morning of the school, alumni from the Kansas City area give up a couple of hours of their time to work one-on-one with each chapter to develop a written recruitment plan for that year. We would like to thank those alumni and staff that volunteered time: Dave Anderson, Kevin Barnes, John Borchers, Erwin Clark, Kevin Dehn, Joe Eddy, David Fearis, Dallas Ford, Kylo Heller, Leslie Jett, Phil Kirk, Thad Koenigsfeld, Dave Lehman, Jesse McCurry, Luke McKelvie, Kyle Nichols, Ken Root and Peter Tomlinson.

We would also like to thank the following chapters for their participation this year: North Dakota State, Iowa State, Missouri, Nebraska, Minnesota, North Carolina State, Auburn, Oklahoma State, Colorado State, Michigan State, Maine, Cal Poly, New Hampshire, Florida, Louisiana State, Kansas State, Maryland, Tennessee - Knoxville, Western Illinois, Tennessee - Martin, Murray State, Southern Illinois, Illinois State, Middle Tennessee State, Wyoming, Northwest MO State, Tarleton State, Idaho and Southwest MO State.

We hope to see all of our chapters take advantage of this school next year, which is mostly paid by the Educational Foundation of Alpha Gamma Rho. We can also put on regional recruitment workshops in your area. If your chapter has any questions about these services or would like to report an alumnus who would like to help, please contact Josh Terhune in the Home Office at (816) 891-9200 x 16. n
