Brown: The Western Province is supportive of the Six- Point Plan. I believe Kappa Alpha Psi ® is more effective when you have 700 + chapters focused on singular pro- grams and objectives versus 700 + chapters doing 700 + things. We have embraced technology in the West. Registration for Province events is now done online. Western Province chapters are focused on reclamation. Additionally, we are steadily rebuilding our undergradu- ate ranks. I am encouraged by the undergraduate resur- gence we are seeing in the Western Province.

Journal: What advice would you give to those who want to pursue a career your profession? Brown: I can’t overstate the importance of education and training. The telecommunications industry is rap- idly evolving. It is no longer simply dial tone. In order to be successful, you must keep up with industry trends, stay educated and be flexible. It is equally important to network and seek mentorship opportunities.
