Workshops

Regionals is a biannual region 10 conference of Alpha Phi Omega. Brothers from across the region come together to conduct region business and to participate in workshops promoting leadership, friendship, and service. This year's Regionals theme is "APHIO & the Chocolate Factory", a Willy Wonka-based theme.
