  • Designed for IFC and fraternity community leaders, this pre-conference will focus on the most critical issues impacting fraternity communities and the competencies necessary to effectively navigate these as a leadership team.

  • The National Panhellenic Conference will spend time with College Panhellenic leaders to discuss trends, best practices, and provide meaningful officer training for the Panhellenic officers in attendance at AFLV Central.

  • Leadership requires action. As new leaders, what do we take on first? Should our focus be on the constitution and by-laws, institution policy, or organization compliance? This program will equip you to manage your chapter and meet every layer of compliance while still having a memorable collegiate experience. Leadership should enhance your experience, not deter you from success. This leadership program will leave you empowered to take chapter management to the next level as organization leaders.

Institutes

Institutes are free of charge and open to all conference attendees!

Registration for institutes is required when registering for the conference.

  • The Chapter Presidents Institute will provide resources, skills, and leadership development opportunities for chapter presidents of all councils in areas that are geared towards helping them succeed as leaders of their organizations. Participants will spend time with fellow presidents from across the country as they learn more about their leadership styles and how to accelerate progress within their chapters and communities by creating buy-in and influencing meaningful change. Whether the individual is a new chapter president or approaching the end of the term, participants will leave this academy inspired to lead and ready to take action to accelerate meaningful change.
