Other than Convention

Most groups have their Convention every two year, but does any other group have workshop or small conferences on the off years?

AXiD has the Workout(Help with Recruitment) and the TLC(The Leadership Conference) during the years we do not have convention.

We used to have what was called Leadership training School... and it ended up becoming *pretty* much like convention... so this year we started Regional Leadership Conferences where the E boards from each region stay closer to home and attend internationaly standardized leadership training with the ohther chapters in the region.

Although not mandated, Alpha Phi Alpha typically has some sort of special convention in the off years.

I believe in 2002 it was an economic summit in Vegas? (wasn't a member yet....in 03 it was a General Convention in Detroit.....04 was a Constitutional Convention in Philly....05 was a General Convention in Houston...and this year it's the Centennial Convention.

My mind has been blanking ALL DAY on where the next general convention will be.

Delta Tau Delta has five regional conferences -- one per division. They are very much like a mini-Karnea (our international conference held every two years). In addition, there are several leadership conferences during the summer months.

We have convention ever three years. We have leadership conferences off years (both national and regional) and of course we have smaller leadership retreats at our EO.

We have regional conferences called "The Leadership Conference" (TLC) on off-Convention years. Historically, we did them by Province, then it was national, now it's by Area, of which we have 4. They are more focused on workshops and less on the pomp and circustance of our Convention.
