Annual Reports due May 30th

Annual Reports are due soon! They are one of the basic requirements of our Society's Circle Standards Committee. It is of the utmost importance that your Circle submits a report each year. The reports provide the national headquarters and your regional directors with vital information that allows us to keep in contact with you and better meet your needs.

The form only takes 5-10 minutes to complete and can be submitted either electronically by clicking on the following link, Electronic Annual Report Form or by downloading the Annual Report PDF.

2008 Laurel Crowned Circle Award Recipient Robert S. Jepson, Jr.

The Laurel Crowned Circle was presented to Robert S. Jepson, Jr. during the 2008 National Leadership Summit and Convention in Atlanta, Georgia. The Laurel Crowned Circle Award is the highest award that the Society can bestow upon a member. The award is presented to “an outstanding American who has exemplified the ideals of the Omicron Delta Kappa Society.” Jepson becomes the 18th individual to receive this prestigious award since the founding of Omicron Delta Kappa in 1914. In addition to his successful business career Mr. Jepson and his wife, Alice Andrews Jepson,

are well known benefactors in the field of higher education. The Jepson’s most notable contribution was to the University of Richmond, where the Jepson School of Leadership Studies was founded in 1992. Through the Jepson School of Leadership Studies students are given the opportunity to focus on leadership development as both a personal and an academic discipline.

Jepson’s professional portfolio is extensive and full of success; however he was awarded the Laurel Crowned Circle Award not only for his accomplishments in the business world, but especially for his philanthropic support and dedication to leadership and higher education.
