Bro. Tillman Officially Announces His Candidacy

On June 11, 2005, Bro. Mark Stewart Tillman announced to his chapter, Gamma Lambda, that he is seeking to serve the brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha in a different capacity.

He indicated that after hearing the call, a lot of prayer, encouragement from brothers, and above all, approval from his wife, he accepted the challenge to be instrumental in the continuing development of the fraternity. Bro. Tillman was quoted in saying,

"We made a pledge and took an oath, to uphold the ideals and aims of our dear fraternity. In my view, we are part of an ongoing “investment strategy” and Alpha is the stock. This strategy will ensure that the legacy and the life of the fraternity will endure for another 100 years and beyond.

As we diversify and balance our investments into “the stock”, the result can produce substantial dividends for the communities we serve and the brothers we developed."
