As the gregorian year came to a close and IRAZA #380 received recognition for it's hard work at the Regional Winter Convention, the founders believed that there work was done and it was time for others to take on the leadership of the chapter. At the next term's board elections, Amitai Gross, a Freshman and the first Chaver of the chapter, was elected as the next Godol. Not only was Amitai young, but the entire second executive board was composed of Freshmen, minus Simi Adler, a Senior and founder. During Gross' term, the chapter had an all-time record membership, through the extensive work of Adler, and a record six programs held that term, with the help of S'gan, Martin Singer, which all had excellent attendance thanks to the boards push for communication. Regional programs had record attendance, especially Kallah with a record twelve members there. At the next elections, thanks to the superior communication of the chapter, there was a strong push for many members to run. Not a single position went unapposed. The next term's attendance and membership was nearly as impressive as the lasts.

[edit] Chapter History

[edit] The Legacy of Ben Greenberg

Ben Greenberg wasn't really sure what to do as the only member. He asked Megibow who responded with: "You have a Shul directory right? Why don't you call up everyone in high school and get them to join?" The next day, Ben called Mark and asked him, "What do I do now?" Mark was confused as to what he meant. Ben informed him that he had called every high school male at Bonai Shalom and had some interested guys. What should he do now? Mark was excited with Ben's enthusiasm for getting the work done and gave him further instructions on how to begin. Ben had recruited the other founders of what would become Ilan Ramon AZA #380: Michael Salzman, Paul Kirschner, Nathan Fox, Aaron Freedman and Simi Adler. Ben took on the role as the first Godol.

[edit] Receiving a Charter: Nathan Fox's Work

Ben's term as Godol ended and then came along Michael Salzman's. After Salzman, Nathan Fox took on the position of Godol and made some radical changes. Fox pushed for support from the central part of the region, Denver, attendance at regional events and strong fraternity within the chapter. Nathan and other founding members worked hard to build up membership so that in the Fall of 2004, Rabbi Rose BBYO #5026 would no longer exist and the men would finally have their own chartered AZA chapter. In the Fall term of 2004, Nathan Fox became the first official Godol of the yet-to-be-named Boulder AZA chapter (see Fall '04 board). After long discussions among members who attended regular meetings, the chapter finally received a name, a mascot, a number (recycled from a folded Chicago AZA chapter), a chapter sport (sort of), colors and a theme (Rastafarian/hippie influence).

[edit] Members Coming From Everywhere: Amitai Gross' Additions

As the gregorian year came to a close and IRAZA #380 received recognition for it's hard work at the Regional Winter Convention, the founders believed that there work was done and it was time for others to take on the leadership of the chapter. At the next term's board elections, Amitai Gross, a Freshman and the first Chaver of the chapter, was elected as the next Godol. Not only was Amitai young, but the entire second executive board was composed of Freshmen, minus Simi Adler, a Senior and founder. During Gross' term, the chapter had an all-time record membership, through the extensive work of Adler, and a record six programs held that term, with the help of S'gan, Martin Singer, which all had excellent attendance thanks to the boards push for communication. Regional programs had record attendance, especially Kallah with a record twelve members there. At the next elections, thanks to the superior communication of the chapter, there was a strong push for many members to run. Not a single position went unapposed. The next term's attendance and membership was nearly as impressive as the lasts.
