Thursday, February 28
*New this year* Pre-Conference Academy for Culturally Based Organizations with Dr. Don Trahan: a one-day program intended for culturally based organizations, this program focuses on learning how to lead change management effectively and efficiently as a culturally based organization. Attendees will leave prepared to challenge the narrative of “we can’t” and replace it with “we will.”

Friday, March 1
Culturally Based Organization Institute: This institute will provide resources, new skills, and strategies for the growth and development of each individual organization. We will give you the tools needed to start building a campus support network through collaboration in order to achieve your organizational goals. We will provide you with tangible skills to grow your organization, build a strong vision of the future college campus, and create a positive impact on your entire community. We will challenge you to go forth and make a difference on your campus while highlighting your organizational mission and values at all times.

Local Organization Institute: This series of workshops throughout the day on Friday offers an opportunity for members of local fraternities and sororities to discuss strategies for sustainable success. Workshop facilitators have experience working with local organizations and the unique challenges and opportunities they present to student members. This one-day program during the conference will feature speakers who are local organization alumni and professionals with extensive experience advising local organizations to help the leaders of these organizations be successful. The programs will be interactive and feature topics on organizational improvement and alumni relations.
