Join NovakTalks CEO, Kim Novak & lead facilitator, Joshua Welch, for the 3rd year of the NGLA Advanced Leadership Summit, scheduled to take place Saturday, February 25 from 10:15am–4:30pm.*
The Advanced Leadership Summit is designed to provide an opportunity for student leaders who have taken part in NGLA or other significant leadership educational programs to drill deeper into meeting the challenges of leading. Leading through issues necessitates that leaders approach challenges as critical thinkers that seek to identify the real problem while shifting focus off of incidents to issues in order to identify the best course of action in their work. By utilizing a thinking & planning process that necessitates thoroughly evaluated and thoughtfully considered factors that contribute to any given problem, task, or issue, participants will be able to meet the challenges of leading their chapters or communities while continuing their own development as leaders.
Click here to apply for the NGLA Advanced Leadership Summit! Space is limited!
*Those accepted into the limited seating program will be notified prior to the conference and are expected to participate in the full program. |

| | NGLA’s award-winning Advisors Academy brings together volunteer, alumni, and faculty advisors from around the region to share best practices and hear from industry leaders on issues affecting higher education and the interfraternal community. All sessions are facilitated by the staff of RISE Partnerships and funded by a generous grant from Phi Mu Delta.
Join us Saturday, February 25, 9:30am-4:30pm to learn: - What life looks like through the eyes of today’s college student
- How to lead conversations with students about difficult topics
- Multiple options for handling problematic situations
- How to work with campus, headquarters, and umbrella association partners
- Techniques for setting expectations and maintaining accountability
The meeting room limits us to 50 participants, so register early before sessions sell out! The program speaks specifically to graduate or alumni volunteer advisors of fraternity and sorority chapters. It is relevant to those who advise a single functional area (e.g. recruitment, finances, member development, etc.), to general chapter advisors, and to regional advisors who work directly with students. Advisors who are not members of a fraternity/sorority are encouraged to attend, as non-members have found the program especially worthwhile. The program may not be relevant to fraternity/sorority professionals on campus or headquarters or to those who do not work directly with students.

| | | Request for Cultural Competency Programming Proposals: Due March 1st
NGLA desires to help support cultural competency development among fraternity and sorority members across the northeast. We are seeking proposals for a comprehensive program that helps students learn to understand and navigate topics such as diversity, inclusion, and social justice. The final product may include the development of resources, standalone education either in person or virtually, and/or programming that has the ability to be implemented either at the annual conference, on member campuses, and/or for personal development.
If you would like to share the RFP with any other colleagues that you believe may be interested in submitting materials for consideration please feel free to contact Cultural Competence Workgroup Chair, Victoria Lopez-Herrera. |
| | | Colleen Knopeck has been serving as the editor for the NGLA newsletter for over a year. In that time, she has become an integral part of the communications team. She works each month to compile the articles and announcements for the newsletter that is sent out to the members of NGLA. Without her effort, communication about the conference, year round programming, and articles for the benefit of our members, would not be able to be shared so concisely. Please join us in recognizing Colleen as the February Volunteer of the Month. Thank you for being so fantastic, Colleen!
