As a member of ZZL, Brother Goodson has held countless positions in his chapter ranging from Secretary, Treasurer, Chapter Dean, Vice-President and served as the only three-term President of the chapter. In 2010, his outstanding work in the name of the fraternity earned him the PHI Award for Brotherhood from the Gamma Iota Lambda Chapter, and in 2010-1 he was named the NYACOA and Eastern Region Alumni Brother of the Year. His past accomplishments in the fraternity have included serving as his chapters Chairman for their bi-annual Alpha Affair, which has raised over $40,000 for scholarship and philanthropy in the Queens, NY community over the past 7 years; and he has earned numerous awards and recognition's from his home chapter, other local chapters and sororities. He has risen through the ranks locally having served as the Area Director for all New York City chapters from 2012-2015.

Initiated into Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity in the Spring of 2011 through the Alpha Gamma Lambda Chapter. In AGL, Brother Blackmon served as Social committee chair, Fundraising chair, Vice President, and was elected chapter President in 2017.

Under his leadership and partnership with NYACOA, Alpha became the first Greek Letter Organization to have a float in the annual African American Day Parade in 20 years, an event that is now viewed as a major display of Alpha pride. Brother Blackmon leads NYACOA’s monthly Leadership Development Webinar series, serves as one of the key partners for the annual Alpha reception at the NYS Caucus of Black, Latino and Asian legislators, and was named NYACOA Brother of the Year for 2017-2018.

NYACOA 2nd Vice President /
Assistant District III Director
Killiaun Blatche
2ndvicepresident@nyacoa.org

I am a Fall 2019 initiate of the Mu Sigma Chapter and fourth year Computing Security student at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Alpha has aided in my overall development, not only as a leader within the community but as a mentor, advocate and servant to all mankind. It is not about what Alpha can do for me but rather what I can do for Alpha. It's time to utilize the development that Alpha has provided me and take the next steps in order to aid this District in fulfilling its maximum potential. I believe as a District we can provide long lasting and tangible connections internal and external to the fraternity, in order to create consistent and efficient service and advocacy to the marginalized and underrepresented communities from which we came.
