| | | NGLA Advanced Leadership Summit Student leaders are often provided with the tools and inspiration to lead change within their chapter or community, but left pondering how to actually make the change happen and sustain it.
The NGLA Advanced Leadership Summit is designed to provide students attending the annual conference with a framework for not only recognizing change is necessary, but also how to make it happen. Led by Kim Novak, CEO of Novak Talks, Allison Foster, Alternate NPC Delegate of Alpha Chi Omega, and Will Foran, Vice President of University Relations for the NIC, this Summit will 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.
So often we focus on what “doing the right thing” is in our leadership programming that we overlook the most essential skill sets; after leaders figure out their personal direction, how do they inspire others to understand the need for change in their community or chapter? Can leaders learn skills to feel empowered to talk deliberately, honestly, and openly with their peers, and to put into practice a process of change based on the factors of relating, repeating, and reframing?
Note: The Summit occurs Friday, February 28 during the afternoon of the NGLA Conference. Participants will be given the opportunity to register in advance.

| | Volunteer of the Month: John Rodriquez
Last semester NGLA wrapped up a very successful New England Greek Summit (NEGS) courtesy of volunteer chairperson and our current volunteer of the month, John Rodriguez. John has been volunteering with NGLA for the past two years.
In his professional life, he is the Residence Director at Stonehill College in Easton, MA. In addition to his work with NGLA, he is involved with NASPA and as a volunteer with his fraternity, Phi Kappa Theta.
When asked about John’s contribution to NEGS, Emily Perlow reported that, "John worked tirelessly to coordinate all aspects of the New England Greek Summit. He rallied the troops to plan and execute a successful program, and I'm so grateful to have had the chance to work with such a passionate, energetic volunteer."
Matt Modansky further noted that, “John was an exceptional volunteer this fall. He volunteered countless hours of his time over the summer and at the peak of the academic semester.” Please join us as we thank John for all of his efforts, not just in making NEGS an event to remember, but for being a first-rate volunteer all year-round! |
