About the Shirtsleeve Conference
First proposed in 1965 by Brother James S. Avery, Sr., the Shirtsleeve Conference was created to refocus our collective energy on service, scholarship, and leadership through action. Now, we gather to advance the mission and amplify Omega’s impact.
District Leaders & Panelists
These men don’t just lead — they inspire, mentor, and challenge us to carry the torch of Omega forward. Their presence at the Shirtsleeve Conference and Undergraduate Summit is a call to every brother: rise, serve, and lead with purpose.
Shirtsleeve Conference Schedule
The 2025 James S. Avery, Sr. Shirtsleeve Conference brings together brothers from across the Second District for an impactful day of fellowship, learning, and leadership. From hands-on workshops to dynamic panels, every session is rooted in Omega’s mission to uplift and empower.
