Although leadership, especially position (elected or appointed) leadership, is often discussed in terms of leader qualities and skills, the matter of leadership as a responsibility of each professional receives little attention (Wheatley, 2005). • The campus and larger community can benefit from the leadership of chapter members in addressing issues related to social responsibility in the areas of peace and security, social justice, environment, prosperity, innovation/technology, health and education. Program objectives include the following: 1. Promote, encourage, and strengthen leadership development at all levels of the campus community in regard to social responsibility. 2. Engage in a dialogue among student groups regarding social responsibility. 3. Commit to a leadership role in increasing campus and community awareness of a local issue or concern. 4. Serve as role models of leadership.
