proceed with building on the existing site, driven by our ongoing need for a suitable International Headquarters. The relentless pursuit of this vision culminated at the 68th Grand Chapter meeting, where delegates, led by 22nd Grand Pole- march Hiliary H. Holloway, passed a resolution to construct a new headquar- ters building adjacent to our current location. This historic resolution autho- rized the Grand Board of Directors to commence the construction, based on architect Andrew Bryant’s designs, and secured neces- sary funding.
Under the leadership of Grand Polemarch Jimmy McMikle, the 35th Admin- istration has been jubilantly witnessing the completion of these long-awaited reno- vation projects. 109th Elder Watson Diggs Awardee and Executive Director John F. Burrell noted, “Originally envisioned
in 1990, our commitment to enhancing our headquarters reflects Kappa Alpha Psi’s rich history and aspirations for the future. The renova- tions were made possible through the dedicated con- tributions of individual brothers, chapters, provinces, and The Grand Chapter, ensuring a lasting legacy.”
“We invite you to take a three-story virtual tour of our newly renovated Inter- national Headquarters—a place that symbolizes our unity and ambition. As we proudly present this achievement, the Grand Board of Directors and the professional staff eagerly welcome you.” ♦
