WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
All chapters within a 300-mile driving distance of the conference site are strongly encouraged to register at least one person for the conference. Current juniors, seniors, grad students, new graduates or first-year teachers will get the most out of attending the conference.

The conference is not about teaching chapter leadership (i.e. – how to be a good officer or run your chapter better), but will be focused on how to be a good teacher-leader.

Please consider sending a delegation based on your chapter size:
  • If your chapter has 0–50 active members, consider registering 2–4 members.
  • If your chapter has 51–99 active members, consider registering 5–7 members.
  • If your chapter has 100+ active members, consider sending 8–10 members.
WHAT IS THE COST?
Registration costs only $35 a person until April 1. This cost includes conference materials, snacks on Friday, breakfast and lunch on Saturday, and an event favor.

Registrations from April 2–7 are accepted, but will cost $45 per person. On-site registrations will cost $60. This increase does not apply to chapter substitutions for members who were already registered. There is no charge to substitute members. Please note: No refunds will be given for cancellations occurring less than two weeks before the event.
