What is enhanced about Regional Leadership Conferences?

Responsive to your needs, we’ve aligned the program to exceed expectations. Regional Leadership Conferences will focus on developing a mix of leadership and management skills necessary for all TKE members.

For those starting their TKE journey, we provide opportunities to learn more about TKE Ritual, recruitment, and membership development. Want to learn more about what it takes to succeed beyond the classroom? We will provide education on personal finance, selling yourself or your ideas, and unlocking your potential through setting goals. The Regional Leadership Conferences will also focus on managing risk and promoting healthy habits. We’ve added additional general sessions with the top leaders in our Fraternity to put the lessons you learn at the RLC into action. And lastly, the Alumni Engagement Team along with the Regional Directors will provide opportunities for our alumni and volunteers to continue to develop and grow as leaders.

I went to a Province Forum. Why is the RLC different?

Province Forums are typically a half-day, drive-in event. Forums focus on the nuts and bolts of running a chapter, specific to the local area. The RLC is built as the next level. We aim to take those skills and apply them as a leader in your group and your community. Also, Regional Leadership Conferences include catered meals such as the Grand Council Luncheon, VIP Brotherhood Reception, two-night hotel stay at a premier hotel property and two days of interaction with and instruction of TKE Volunteers, Professional Staff, Grand Council members and other TKE VIPs.

When Should I Arrive?

Registration will open at 4:00 p.m. local time on Friday. Opening events typically don't begin until 7 p.m. with a kick off and ritual shortly thereafter. Feel free to enjoy the city!

I can't attend any longer. Can I get a refund?

Regional Leadership Conference registrations are transferable within your chapter, not refundable. We can make name changes on-site without any issues.

What Should I Expect?

Expect to be challenged. Expect to get more from yourself the more you put in. Expect to meet TKE members from chapters all across TKE Nation. Expect to share what’s working on your campus and on theirs. Expect to have fun, responsibly. The RLC Event Schedule should help you understand what to expect at the Regional Leadership Conferences. Please note that the schedule is subject to change.

VIP Guests to Expect?

You can expect members from both the Grand Council and the TKE Foundation Board. You can also expect TKE Staff and Volunteers. Guest speakers will be part of the festivities and in the past have included Order of the Golden Eagle winners, Past Grand Prytani, Past CEO’s of TKE, Grand Council members, TKE Foundation Board members, and alumni who will share the path to their success & the role TKE has played in it.

Ritual

A full Ritual will occur on Friday evening. We will have an excellent team to initiate Fraters into our bond and allow us to reconnect with the principles of our fraternity. Think you are the best at ritual in TKE Nation? Inquire with your Regional Director to apply to be the ritual team at your RLC.

Attire

Formal ritual attire is required for Friday evening, and Saturday attire is business casual (polo or dress shirt and slacks). Please do not wear anything that can be considered offensive. You can be asked to change clothes or subject to removal from the hotel.

I’VE ALREADY ATTENDED A REGIONAL LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE IN THE PAST. WHY DO I NEED TO ATTEND AGAIN?

First and foremost, you can reference the schedule above to see some of the changes we have put in place for the RLC this year. We have added general sessions that will allow you to learn from some of the best presenters in TKE, and then have the opportunity to break into smaller groups to debrief and digest what was discussed. This change will allow you and your chapter to take away the best available information from the RLC this year, rather than having pick between four or five workshops to attend. Additionally, every RLC features a different group of TKE staff members, volunteers, VIPs, and Grand Council members. Even if you’ve been to two or three RLCs, this experience will be unique, and we promise you will walk away with new knowledge, connections, and relationships.
