Brothers of The Mighty Second District,
I greet you in the Name of the Supreme Basileus of the Universe to Whom all blessings flow!! A wise brother once said: "Everything we do begins and ends with Friendship!" Therefore, I consider it a privilege to greet you as such. Secondly, I am humbled and honored to be a candidate for the esteemed position of First Vice Second District Representative of The Mighty Second District.
As past Basileus of the award-winning Mighty Omicron Chi Chapter and the current Corridor IV Representative, you have seen first-hand that I have a "Demonstrated Track Record of Excellence with an Unparallel Track Record of Friendship!!" Founder Frank Coleman once said, "However good the intentions may be, actions are the only evidence of their existence." It is in that spirit I have lived a life that has been committed to action for uplifting my family, our fraternity, and our communities!
The First Vice District Representative is not just a title—it is the embodiment of a support system, a backbone of our District Representative's vision, and a guiding light for our collective endeavors. In accordance with our constitution, the First Vice District Representative is tasked with critical responsibilities that ensure the effective operation and advancement of our District.
I will perform diligently all duties assigned by the District Representative, acting as a reliable right hand and ensuring continuity and stability within our leadership. I will stand ready to step into the District Representative's shoes when called upon, ensuring that the vision and direction of the Second District remain steady and focused. Moreover, I will diligently supervise the activities of all standing committees, ensuring that they not only meet but exceed their goals, fostering an environment where excellence is not an aspiration but a standard.
In This Role,
I Am Committed to...
hosting fire-side chats, and genuinely listening to what you, my brothers, have to say.
Local Chapters,
we'll delve deep into strategies to enhance and uplift all the Second District committees, ensuring that each one operates at its peak potential, making a lasting
impact.
Together,
we will embark upon what can only be described as a "fraternal renaissance"! With Leadership, Engagement, Organizational Excellence, and Next-Level thinking, we will not just navigate the future, but we will shape it!!
Collectively,
As your next First Vice District Representative, my prayer is simple...for each of our members to utilize their gifts and talents to the best of their ability according to God's will and that we make "Friends" while doing so.
In closing, I will leave you with the words of our 33rd Grand Basileus, Brother Dr. Moses C. Norman, Sr. "Don't be afraid to be Great amongst the Greatest of men!" We’ve been changemakers from the beginning!! Be great, my brothers…Elect Leon Smith II for First Vice District Representative at the 76th Second District Conference in Philadelphia, April 26 -28, 2024!
Thank you for considering my candidacy. Let us move forward with unity and purpose, forging a future for our fraternity that is as bright and noble as the lineage we proudly claim.
Yours in Omega,
Leon M Smith
Brother Leon M. Smith II
