The Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity held its first Leadership Breakfast yesterday [Mar 21], with almost 100 male high school students attending the event which allowed them to network with various professionals in the areas of technology, business, law, education and medicine.
The program began with opening remarks from President Lloyd Holder, followed by a prayer by Dwayne Caines, and then the men of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Incorporated then introduced themselves.
A spokesperson said, “Bro. Chris Crumpler had the students on the edge of their seats with his inspirational message. He encouraged the students to set high and lofty goals for themselves, and to devise a plan of a action to achieve them.
“The main activity that highlighted this event was the networking session where the male high school students had the opportunity to ask questions pertaining to the next steps relative to their career choice.
“The students were actively engaged as the presenters dialogued with them about establishing short term goals and development a personal mission statement to support their aspirations.
“At the end of the event, our moderator, and Vice President, Bro. Philip Trott, asked for a volunteer to run towards the podium and to summarize the main concepts gleaned from the networking session.
“Marcus Smith of Saltus Grammar School came to the front and eloquently shared how this forum helped him to refine his career goals and objectives. As he was the first to volunteer, he was the recipient of an S4 Mini Galaxy, which was donated by Bro. Wayne Caines, CEO of Digicel.
“The other recipient who was second to volunteer was Nicoy Anglin of the Berkeley Institute, who received a monetary gift from MP Zane DeSilva for his assertiveness to also share what he learned from the networking session.
“This event was attended 91 male high school seniors from Berkeley Institute, Saltus Grammar, CedarBridge Academy, Warwick Academy, Impact Mentoring Academy, Bermuda Institute and RTS.
“This event spearheaded by Dr. John E. Duncan, and committee members, Senator Diallo Rabain, Bro. Dwayne Caines, Bro. Philip Trott, Bro. Omar Pennyman, and Bro. Quennell Robinson was a resounding success.
“It will be an annual event as the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Incorporated continues to reach out to members on the community to make a difference one life at a time-”First of All, Servants of All, we shall transcend All.”

Well done, Well done to the great men of Alpha Phi Alpha. What a powerful job you do reaching our to our young men. THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO.
It’s good to see positive activities with our young men keep it up, what’s disturbing is when there’s negative activity with our young men the comments are continuous bashing but something like this does not entice their logical feelings, how sad.
There was only one comment before yours and it was very positive.
Great job Alphas for inspiring our young men. Could you possibly have these meetings a few times a year so that other young men can attend? I’m in university and would like to attend something like this over the summer or christmas break.
