ABOUT ME
I’m Bro. Osuman Issaka—husband, father, brother, servant leader, social welfare advocate, and proud member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.
​
I was initiated on July 18, 1999, through the Tau Kappa Chapter on the campus of University of Nebraska at Omaha.
​
From growing up in Lagostown (Newtown), Ghana and Chicago’s South Side, to now leading one of the Midwest region's most impactful youth development organizations, my journey has been shaped by perseverance, uplift, and brotherhood. My heart beats for my community and I am called to serve.
I believe the records and history of Omega are sacred—and that transparency, innovation, and accuracy are vital to protecting our legacy. If elected, I will bring over two decades of leadership, project management, and innovation experience to elevate the Office of the Grand Keeper of Records & Seal with precision, purpose, and passion.
