Joint Programs and/or Chapter Collaboration
 

For those of you who live in areas with high concentrations of chapters, especially for alumni/ae, have you ever had joint programs with other chapters of your org? Was it something you would do again? With regularity?

I am defining a joint program as some sort of event or service project that requires equal planning and participation by more than one chapter, but not planned on a Cluster or District level. Basically, the idea originates at the chapter level.

Thoughts?

We have conducted Joint Founder's Day activities with all citywide Graduate and Undergraduate chapters.

A few years ago, as an initiative of one of our former National Presidents, there was Leadership Training. The training was conducted throughout the year. If you were unable to attend a module, you could attend the sister chapter's training module. I completed all of my training at the sister chapter's training session. I'm sure this will resurface since it is part of the new administration's program.
