AAAOM-SOC WELCOMES NEWEST LOCAL CHAPTERS!

by Melissa Monroe, 2007-08 AAAOM-SOC Pacific SW Regional Director and Media Publications Committee Co-Chair

The AAAOM-SOC (Student Organization Council) is proud to announce the formation of 10 new AAAOM-SOCCs (Student Organization College Chapter--aka local chapters), bringing the total number of local chapters to 18 in just a year-and-a-half!

SOCCs serve as the foundation of our national Student Organization and provide ways for students to get involved on a local scale before deciding to commit on a larger scale nationally. Local chapters can elect their own officers, host fund-raising events to support their chapter, and bridge local ideas and concerns to the national level via the AAAOM-SOC.

The SOC would love to see a local chapter at every single college of AOM. If you are interested in getting a AAAOM local chapter started at your school, Jolene Habeck, AAAOM-SO President, can direct you to the SOC board member who can best help you get started. Please contact Jolene at .

WELCOME AND CONGRATULATIONS ON BEHALF OF THE AAAOM-SOC!
