Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors

During the 2009 Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors (AFA) Annual Meeting in Jacksonville, FL, Dan Bureau received the Sue Kraft Fussell Distinguished Service Award from the Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors.

The Association’s Distinguished Service Awards were established in 1985 to recognize those individuals who have exhibited professional standards and achievement in men’s and women’s fraternity advising, as well as outstanding achievement in various other areas including campus programming, development and research activities, and service to the college community. In 2006, the award was renamed for AFA’s Executive Director, Sue Kraft Fussell, in honor other many talents, contributions, and leadership, her strong work ethic, commitment to the Association, dedication to our vision of a unified fraternal movement, and in recognition of her many years of distinguished service.

Bureau served as the President of the Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors in 2004 and has been a volunteer for the Association since he joined. In addition to his service to the Association, Dan has served on the Board of Directors for Phi Kappa Theta and Gamma Sigma Alpha. Dan is also extremely involved with hazing prevention and promoting discussions on the topic of fraternal relevance.

One nominator states, “Dan is visionary, progressive, intelligent, and determined, yet oddly humble, humorous, and grounded. He is truly an educator, an advocate, an innovator, and a friend!”

Through his contributions to the fraternal relevance movement, Dan takes on a significant leadership role. One nominator writes, “With his challenging style, questions raised, and inspirational conversations, Dan is leading a new generation of staff, volunteers, and campus professionals to examine our collective relevance.”

The Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors (AFA) is a multifaceted professional organization providing resources, recognition, and support for approximately 1,600 fraternity and sorority professionals and volunteers from across the United States and Canada. Approximately 1,050 people attended the 2009 AFA Annual Meeting. For more information about AFA, please visit our website at www.fraternityadvisors.org
