Learn About the Basics of Running a Chapter
Registration for the 2024 Essentials of Chapter Leadership (ECL) is now open! This three-day virtual training event will take place Tuesday, March 26 through Thursday, March 28.
This doesn’t take the place of our popular Chapter Leadership Institute. That will be happening this summer. Rather, ECL is intended to provide incoming chapter leaders with the tools and knowledge necessary for chapter management, highlight important resources available to all leaders and present information on the importance of adhering to essential financial and legal responsibilities.
As event registration is on a per chapter basis, this is a great opportunity for all chapter leaders as well as prospective leaders to be provided with this training.
