Esperanto Aza

In the hebrew language, the aleph, by itself has no sound, but when you add just a few letters, that silence turns into ge-vah. Pride.

As a chapter an aleph by itself does not have much of a sound, however, when we get together our voices can all be heard. We now have the ability to bring our voices and ge-vah to every aleph in Esperanto AZA the Region and the Grand Order. My brother alephs, My name is Aleph Jake alexander gaby, and I am standing here today aspiring for the high and honorable position of Esperanto AZAs aleph godol. Gentlemen, I have a vision. A vision to take the voice of every single Aleph In this fine chapter and make it loud n’ proud. This vision is simple but not easily accomplished, however, together, we can achieve this goal.

This past year as Rantos moreh, I have watched our chapter grow in unprecedented ways. We have shared countless hours with each other having fun and building a strong brotherhood. That’s why I decided to run for Chapter Aleph Godol. My goals for this term are to improve AIT retention, programming and improve our chapter’s brotherhood. Through commitment and communication Esperanto AZA and every aleph can soar to immeasurable heights. In my fourth year as an Aleph I know that ranto is one of the best chapters in the order, and I want to help maintain that reputation.

A main issue we need to address in our chapter is retention. Even though we are one of the largest chapters in the region, our retention is too low. In order to ensure esperanto a strong future we must retain members. Mebership retention is key to esperantos future with a stronger group of kids the more likely we are on finding and growing ourselves into fine alephs

Another way to engage younger members in our chapter, is to introduce them to a “rush” style program that will allow them to interact with older members on a much smaller scale. Whether it's exchanging numbers, hearing stories, or just getting to know each other... this is a perfect way to become acclimated to the chapter. It is counterproductive when an AIT or any member for that matter attends an event and hears a brother aleph say, “Wow, look who finally came.” We should welcome them and get them more involved. These are alephs we might lose who could have, some day, made a huge difference in our chapter. Compliment your brother on coming. A little effort goes a long way.

Programming is at the epicenter of any good chapter. This happens with fresh, innovative and exciting events. A feature I would like to introduce as godol is a program feedback system, where members comment on different aspects of each program. Based on user feedback programming of future event will be adjusted and content will be tweaked to make sure we offer the best
