The APO Leader’s Summit is a leadership event that will challenge, ignite and inform our leaders to help us prepare for what’s to come in our next 100 years. The Summit will bring student and alumni leaders together to connect with brothers from across the country; learn and share best practices and new skills; prepare for the 2023 National Convention; and work to continue building the foundation for the next century.
