Regional and National Conclave for 2005

[TerryHepner]

Does anyone know where the National Conclave or the South Region's Regional Conclave will be held this next year yet.

I have already heard the always popular New Orleans rumor but not from any reliable sources.

They have not made any announcement about the National Conclave at the Grand Chapter.

I just read the November Headquarter Headlines off the Nationals website and they listed the dates for each Regional Conclave. But they still haven't said where they will be.

Southern Region - Jan 21st and 22nd
Great Plains Region - Feb 4th and 5th
Three Rivers Region - Feb 18th and19th
Atlantic Coast Region - Feb 18th and 19th
Great Lakes Region - Feb 25th and 26th

GREAT PLAINS REGION – Feb 4-5, Kansas City, MO
SOUTHERN REGION – Feb 4-5, Austin, TX
ATLANTIC COAST REGION – Feb 18-19, Woodbridge, NJ
THREE RIVERS REGION – Feb 18-19, Washington, PA

I just read the lastest issue of Headquarter Headlines for April. There will be NO national conclave this summer. instead, a Strategic Leadership Conference will be held on August 6-8 Warrensburg, Missouri. It will consist primarly of All Regional V.P.'ers, District Directors, volunteer officers, etc.

20 undergraduate members, five of those being Ellisworth C. Dent man of the year finalists, will be invited to participate. There will be a appilcation process. For more Info, click on Nationals' website and hit the H.Q. Headliner link.

I scanned that Headquarters Headlines last month and didn't catch that. They know have it on the main website.

It looks like they are gonna do some SWOT planning for the fraternity, but what I find disenchanting is that they are so heavy on alumni (be it alumni that are actually active) and light on undergrads.

Always hate to sound like I am bitching, but I think that sometimes Nationals is not in touch with what the undergrads want or need. In my opinion, fraternities have changed since most National officers have been involved at the college level. It would be more beneficial if they had actual undergraduate officers involved in the direction of the Fraternity.

Terry, my man, you're not alone.

I agree there should be more Undergrad active members ( be it E-board officer or committee chairman) involved in the process. I'm thinking about going.
