[X] NOT another boring lecture series…

… but a specialized experience designed to transform how you lead.

 

[X] NOT a one-size-fits-all approach…
… but tailored strategies that address your chapter’s challenges.

 

[X]NOT something you want to miss…
… but the opportunity that will define your leadership.

 

 

From July 31 – August 2, 2026, current and aspiring chapter presidents will come together on American University’s campus in Washington, D.C. to transform big ideas into actionable steps and find solutions for your chapter’s biggest challenges.
