For many of us, summer is a time of relaxation, reflection, and preparation. It is a time for planning, whether that is how to change a chapter culture, recruit more members, or better coach student leaders to be their best. As the school year commences, now is the time to take all that renewed energy and direction and put it into action. This is the case for the Northeast Greek Leadership Association as well.
This summer the board of directors reviewed and rejuvenated the strategic plan for the Association. We evaluated trends affecting higher education in the Northeast, considered the ways our Association can better serve students and professionals in the region, and continued to explore ways to both expand and strengthen organization operations. NGLA also streamlined many internal processes that will enable us to provide a higher level of service.
None of what we do would be possible without the tremendous support from our volunteers. Before we dive into planning the 2019 Annual Conference, I would like to take a moment to recognize our volunteer team. We could not continue to grow and advance the NGLA mission without the tireless dedication of many. Thank you for your time and talent to advance the NGLA mission!
As we head into the start of the academic year, please be sure to keep the Northeast Greek Leadership Association in your thoughts. If you attended any of our past leadership events, how can you use what you learned to make an impact on your campus? What are ways the Association can help you achieve your goals? Whether it’s a professional speaker you met at the conference whose words inspired you or an action plan you developed, it’s important to take that learning and turn it into results. Most importantly, let us know how can we even better serve you. I’d love to hear from you—email me anytime at exec@ngla.org.
Best wishes for the start of another year of values driven excellence.
Fraternally,
Emily Perlow

Learn four principles from Matthew Mattson to strengthen your marketing plan.
The story most people know about fraternity/sorority life is not the story most members of fraternities and sororities want to be told about them. Fraternities and sororities are beautiful things, but the narrative being shared about our groups is too often hideous.
It’s time to take control of our fraternal story again. It’s time for a new approach to marketing our organizations.
