Brothers,

I am pleased to welcome you to the beautiful city of Tempe, AZ for our 2023 Western Regional Fall Board Meeting (WRFBM). The meeting will take place on Saturday, September 30th, 2023, in-person at the Sonesta Select Hotel in Tempe, AZ and virtually on our Regional RingCentral platform for International chapters and Blue Passport participants only.

I would also like to personally thank the local chapters: Alpha Epsilon Sigma, Lambda Kappa Sigma, Tau Theta Sigma, Tau Omicron Sigma, Lambda Xi, and Alpha Alpha Epsilon for hosting our Fall Board Meeting. The Brothers have taken the time to provide a detailed list of sites and venues where we can fellowship together and further our bond. Your Regional Leadership Team has heard your feedback regarding the desire to enjoy the cities we gather in for the business of Sigma.

If you are an IHQ Visitor, Past Regional Director, member of the DSC and or DSS, current board members, or handicapped brother flying in to attend the WRFBM on Friday, September 29, 2023, from 12:00 PM - 9:00 PM please complete the VIP Transportation Request form. Also, please keep in mind that all of our efforts are only viable with continued support from the Brotherhood. We all are working men, whether as entrepreneurs, corporate professionals, actively engaged fathers, with much on our plate, yet we balance our lives and our Love for the Brotherhood at the same time.

I want to commend each of you for your commitment to excellence every day you step out of bed and prepare to take on the world.

Fraternally,

Bro. Sidney Jackson, Jr.
35th Western Regional Director
Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated
