The NGLA Silent Auction is also Virtual!
 
* New this Year * You’re invited to participate in the Silent Auction even if you are unable to attend this year's conference. Bidding begins on Wednesday, February 24 at 9am EST.
 
Interested in supporting scholarships and donating to the Silent Auction? An easy way to show support for the NGLA community is to donate an item or service to the Silent Auction. Some of the most popular items include gift cards, electronic devices, accessories, and a gift basket of fraternal items. Some of the most popular services in recent years include educational programs, consultation sessions, and registrations to events. Your donation may be of any value - all contributions help more fraternal leaders access our educational experiences!
 
How will this work for physical items? The donor is responsible for shipping the donated item or service directly to the winning bidder, and for any up-front costs incurred. Donors are eligible to receive a reimbursement for shipping costs upon submission of their receipt(s). The NGLA Special Programs Committee will connect the donor with the winning bidder after the close of the Silent Auction on Sunday, February 28.
