Mock Competition
All attending students will have the opportunity to participate in the role play mock competition.  Advisors will receive the performance indicators and competition instructions in their registration packets to share with students. Students are strongly encouraged to attend the individual role play event session on Monday to learn valuable tips and watch a role play.  Instead of receiving a score, students will meet with the judge immediately following their role play for advice, feedback and suggestions.

Chapter Leadership Academy – “Teamwork Makes the Dream Work” (300 participants)
Each chapter advisor will have the opportunity to select three outstanding student leaders in their chapter to attend the CLA on Monday October 25th at the Bellevue Hyatt. The CLA will be an inspirational half-day of hands-on learning featuring great speakers, practical content, and an opportunity to connect with other chapter leaders from across the state.  Chapter leaders will have an opportunity to share best practices and proven ideas for chapter success throughout the day and during lunch where they will learn proper dining etiquette.

After attending CLA your chapter leaders will walk away knowing:
 - How to work better together to achieve more
 - How to run an effective chapter meeting
 - The Do’s and Don’ts of Dining Etiquette
 - Successful fundraising ideas that will bring in more money for your chapter

For a small investment of $20, your student leaders will receive a binder with training materials from the day, in addition to a meal for lunch.
