INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL
of
Alpha Phi Omega
Est. 1994
The 1980s brought about renewed contact between Alpha Phi Omega – USA and Alpha Phi Omega – Philippines. Leaders in both organizations, including National Presidents Earle Herbert (USA) and Carlos “Caloy” Caliwara (Philippines) concluded there was a need for an international coordinating body to promote the ideals of the Fraternity around the world. This resulted in the birth of the International Council of Alpha Phi Omega (ICAPO) at the 1994 Dallas-Fort Worth Alpha Phi Omega – USA National Convention with the signing of the charter document.
The first meeting of the council was held in Zamboanga City in the Philippines at the 1995 Alpha Phi Omega – Philippines National Convention. The second meeting of the council was held in Phoenix 1996 at the Alpha Phi Omega – USA National Convention. At that time a formal set of operating policies for the council was signed and the officers were elected.
