These challenging times will require dynamic leadership from Alpha, and Brother McCaskill provides the Board and I the best partnership to meet the ambitions we have in developing Alpha men into leaders needed to provide superior advocacy and service in our communities.”

The Indiana University of Pennsylvania alum also serves as an educational consultant, leadership coach, and entrepreneur who has worked in the social service field for more than two decades, gaining valuable experience in individual and family therapy, treatment plan design, and prevention as well as team building and organizational leadership.

I continue to be inspired by the work Brothers are doing across the country in their communities and will work to ensure the staff at your General Office can support that work in a meaningful way.”
