4 Reasons to Attend the 2018 Chapter Leadership Summit

Registration for the 2018 Chapter Leadership Summit, November 9-10, in Las Vegas is open now through July 31.

Here are four reasons why leaders from your chapter should attend:

1. Have Fun with Chapter Friends in Las Vegas!

Attending CLS with officers from your chapter will provide the perfect opportunity for team building and bonding as friends. Adventure to Las Vegas together for a retreat that will benefit your chapter by promoting synergy and camaraderie!

There are a number of restaurants and entertainment venues to explore in Las Vegas before or after CLS. Just outside the Golden Nugget Hotel is Fremont Street Experience, a 24-hour mall featuring a huge LED canopy, casino and restaurant access, and free entertainment. Take the opportunity to let your hair down and have fun with new and old friends alike.

2. Exchange Knowledge with Other Chapter Leaders

Networking games will allow attendees to discuss strategies and solutions to chapter issues with similarly-titled officers from chapters across the country. Learn from the mistakes and successes of other chapters and share your own knowledge!

“It is important for officers from different chapters to come together and learn how they each handle similar challenges,” shared CPP, Ansleigh Smith, Secretary of the Atlanta Chapter. “Attending CLS gives us a chance to network and make contacts that can be used in the future when planning events or facing issues we need guidance on.”

3. Learn Keys to Chapter Success from Hand-Selected Speakers.

Take your chapter to new heights with engaging presentations on fiscal responsibility, social media, study groups, knowledge transfer, chapter operations, and more! Attendees will also be trained on an RCH-eligible presentation that can be taken back to their chapter and presented at a future meeting.
