Dear Subscriber
It's that time of year again--conference season! As your chapters prepare to attend regional and/or sectional conferences near you, make sure you talk it up for the pledges, too. Getting pledges to attend a conference or other inter-chapter event is a requirement for the Pledge Program of Excellence Award, and it's also a great way to help them prepare for active membership. Whether they take Launch from APO LEADS, attend workshops that interest them, or just interact with brothers and pledges from other chapters, attending conferences is a great way to light that famous APO spark.
Good luck with the rest of the semester and have fun at those conferences!
