| | | | | | | The Wyndham Grand Downtown Pittsburgh has limited rooms remaining. These rooms are kings not in the NGLA block and also double suites. If you call the front desk at the Wyndham and do not have luck, feel free to contact Kara. Additionally, we have worked with the Hilton Garden Inn Pittsburgh University Place, which is 3 miles away, to secure rooms at the rate of $129 pre-tax. The Hilton Garden Inn Pittsburgh University Place does have a complimentary shuttle that will transport people to the Wyndham running from 6 am – 10 pm. To make reservations online at the Hilton, click here. To call the Hilton use (412) 683-2040. Our apologies that this phone number was incorrect in the email update. Mention the NGLA block for the $129 pre-tax rate.
We’ve also noticed that many people who have reserved rooms have reserved several rooms. We know that is for students you anticipate bringing to the conference. We kindly ask that if you end up not needing as many rooms as you originally reserved that you release them so other NGLA attendees can stay in the conference hotel.
Please direct any questions to Kara Miller, 2016 NGLA Conference Chair.

There are still spots open and students are invited to apply for the opportunity to participate in the Advanced Leadership Summit.
Click HERE to apply!
Chapter and Council leaders often find themselves struggling to implement change. Often times, emphasis is placed on specific members, chapters or incidents when real change is more likely to happen by focusing on issues. The Advanced Leadership Summit focus will provide advanced leaders from councils and chapters a framework for addressing issues in a systemic manner that will increase the likelihood of advancing towards an ideal state. Participants will be actively engaged in the development of chapter or community strategies that will empower participants to lead change!
Learn how to use your chapter or community's unique characteristics to address needed change or to advance the overall performance of operations! Content is designed to support efforts to address high-risk behaviors, chapter or community engagement, academic performance, promotion of values and core principles as well as designing strategies to sustain successful initiatives you have already implemented.
This Summit provides 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. Participants are expected to participate in the full program. |
