What is TOMSERVES?
TOMSERVES is the approved strategic development and communications initiative of Tau Omega Mu (MCMLXXII), Inc., designed to provide the organization with a clear and doable strategy to gain relevance and meaning not only to its members but to the community at large.
The TOMSERVES roadmap has been approved by TOM 1972 Inc. as its basic guiding principle for the long-term (30 years – i.e., 2022-2052). It is expected to promote the name of TOM as a efficient and dependable service brand that caters to the needs of communities nationally and internationally.
How did TOMSERVES start?
On 03 May 2018, a group of senior brods led by TOM founders Dick Gutierrez (+) and Tony Kalaw, met and discussed the need for a viable strategy that can move TOM Inc. into the future with renewed vigor and purpose.
Brods Chicoy Enerio, Benjie Somera and Favs de Vera were tasked to propose such a plan.
After numerous presentations to different individuals and groups, the plan was approved by the Board of Governors in February 2019. This was the start of TOMSERVES.
VISION AND MISSION STATEMENT
"THE NAME 'TAU OMEGA MU' (TΩM) SHALL BE A UNIVERSALLY-RECOGNIZED AND RESPECTED BRAND IN THE EFFICIENT DELIVERY OF SUPPORT SERVICES RELATING TO HEALTH AND EDUCATION."
Membership Outreach
Seek out long-lost brods and sis, revive their love and pride for TOM, encourage them to return to the fold and be part of alumni activities and projects; ask all Omegans to convince others within their own circles to follow suit
Financial Stability
Provide an avenue for the payment of membership dues (past, present and future) and voluntary financial contributions; ensure fiscal transparency, proper management of financial resources and a high rate of return for TOM
Service Brand Promotions
Promote TOM’s good reputation as a reliable service organization; undertake high-impact programs that solidify TOM’s service image; create a new meaning and relevance of TOM 1972 Inc. not only to its members but the community at large.
The three (3) objectives are interconnected to one another – without committed members, we have limited resources; without the necessary resources, we can not
embark on service projects that promote our brand; without a service brand, we do not have a magnet to pull the membership back into the fold.
