Whether that involvement came in the form of serving as a chapter advisor, on the Supreme Council or as ZBT International President, his impact has been felt by thousands upon thousands of brothers. I’m honored to call Harold my brother,” said ZBT Chief Executive Officer Laurence Bolotin M.Ed., CAE, Alpha Zeta (University of Florida) 2001.

"Serving as Chapter Advisor for the past 25 years, as a past International President and past Supreme Councilor, I am devoted to my fraternity. I am honored to receive the Man of Distinction Award.
