Welcome from the National Chief and Vice Chief

National Chief and Vice Chief

Fellow Arrowman,

Welcome to the 2004 National Order of the Arrow Conference! Many Arrowmen from all over the country have been working tirelessly to make sure that you have the greatest experience possible! Make sure that you take advantage of everything that this conference has to offer, whether it be the exciting training opportunities, intense competitions or breathtaking shows. Our time here is short - make it count!

Remember that you are here today because you were chosen to serve, not for what you have done, but for what you will do in the future. We hope that you leave this conference inspired - not just to serve, but to help others reach their own pinnacle of servant leadership.

I look forward to meeting you this week, and I hope that you not only enjoy the conference, but create memories impossible to forget!

Yours in Brotherhood,

Brothers,

Welcome to our National Conference for 2004 here at Iowa State University. Six years ago I attended my first conference here, themed "Memories of the Past, a Vision for the Future".

Then a young Arrowman, I participated in lodge dance competitions, attended training cells, and enjoyed much fellowship.

At that conference we were each asked to determine our own vision in the OA and for life. My vision then included becoming more involved in my lodge and unit as well as my community.

Yet I never expected to be where I am today. Using this vision and dedicating myself to service through the Order of the Arrow, has taught me many valuable life lessons.

I challenge you to see your own vision while here at this conference that will guide you on your life’s journey. Ask questions of your fellow brothers and learn from what they have done by understanding how they have accomplished their own goals.

Remember, always make time for fun and I'll see you around the campus.

Yours in Brotherhood,
