Chapter leaders from around the country met in Indianapolis June 1-3 to participate in the Ted Scripps Leadership Institute. Funded by the Scripps Howard Foundation, the weekend is a chance for incoming chapter leaders to meet and develop their leadership skills.
About 50 people participated in the program, both professionals and students. Topics such as fundraising, recruitment and leadership roles were covered in a series of small group sessions. A final seminar on chapter goal setting was held on the last day.
After the welcome dinner on Friday evening, President-Elect Clint Brewer delivered the State of the Society address and invited participants to engage in a Q&A session with executive board members. The participants then had the chance to get to know each other with an outing to a duckpin bowling alley.
