Fall Leadership Conference
The fall leadership conference was held on October 17-18, 2012. 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:
Participants create a moving, functional machine and sell it to the public. The catch? This invention is made of people! This often-outrageous activity gets participants thinking about teamwork and promotion of BPA from a whole new perspective.

What does your brand say about you? From your Facebook page, to the way you dress, to the words you choose, everyday you are promoting your own personal brand. In this workshop, leaders will improve their ability to use their personal brand to get results for their chapters and ensure they are helping their fellow members along the way.

Grid Walk
|
|
This activity is an all time FOCUS favorite. Teams work together to navigate their way across the Grid while overcoming various road blocks. Map Masters and Scorekeepers provide the framework of direction for each team as they develop systems to communicate and achieve the goal. Grid Walk emphasizes the importance of taking risks and effective communication.
