​ ​Each chapter of the Southern Region of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. must engage in the Southern Region Vice President's M.E.A.N. initiative and move forward as a body. M.E.A.N. is an acronym for Mobilization, Education, Advocacy, and Navigation.​ ​

NMΛ's M.E.A.N. Plan Summary​

1. Public Issues Forums  

As community members, you have the power to participate in problem-identifying and problem-solving sessions. Together, we can discuss and develop plans to resolve issues such as health care, crime, and low-performing schools, among others. 

2. Candidate Forums and/or Debate Watch   

Engage in the political process by hosting public candidate forums and/or debate watch parties and having discussion groups after the debate.

3. Voter and Civic Education   

Provide information on who is eligible to vote; where and how to register; how electors can check the voter lists to ensure they have been duly included; what type of elections are being held; where, when, and how to vote; who the candidates are; and how to file complaints.    

4. Voter Registration Drives   

It's crucial that we provide online and in-person voter registration opportunities. By ensuring citizens are aware of Georgia's voter registration requirements, we can all contribute to a more engaged and representative community. 

5. Get Out the Vote Programs  

We must get voters to the polls.
