The fall leadership conference was held October 9-10, 2011. New and prospective chapters were required to attend this conference at the Kellogg Hotel & Conference Center located on the campus of Michigan State University in East Lansing.
At the FLC each year, we plan different activities that focus on specific values. The workshops focus on networking, creativity, teamwork, ethics, diversity, defining differences, leadership in service, and enthusiasm. All of this is accomplished in a fun, energetic way.
Professional speakers provide activities designed to start the year off with a jump. The following workshops were presented by FOCUS Training:
