Chapter Leaders Day (CLD)

Chapter Leaders Day Registration is open!

After a few years of virtual programming, Sigma Alpha Mu is excited to announce the return of an in-person experience for Chapter Leaders Day! These one-day regional conferences will give chapter officers and members an opportunity to participate in officer specific training, network with other chapters and have thoughtful conversations about issues facing our Fraternity and the Fraternal movement.

Each chapter will attend the CLD in their region (your chapter will only attend ONE CLD). Attendance is required for 8 members of your chapter: Prior, Vice Prior, Exchequer, Recorder, Candidate Educator, Recruitment Chair, and two emerging leaders. CLD Attendance will be tracked and the attendance expectation is outlined in the 22-23 Chapter Performance Report.

 

TO REGISTER, login to your mySAM profile HERE > Click on “Home” on the top toolbar > you should see “Chapter Leaders Day 2023” and click “Chapter Delegates Register Here” > complete registration form. If you are having issues accessing your MySam profile, email Mario@sam.org and he will resend you a portal invite or reset your password. 

 

What’s the value of attending CLD?

  • Professional development opportunity focused helping you become a better leader in the chapter
  • Receive job-related training for your position
  • Networking with fellow SAM undergraduates, alumni, and non-member facilitators
  • Create individual and group action plans for your chapter

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • When do I need to be there?
    • Check-in will be from 8:15 – 8:45 a.m. local time, the sessions begin at 9:00 a.m. local time. Our opening session begins promptly at 9:00am. If you are late (or leave the conference early), that WILL impact your chapter’s attendance at the conference (which in turn will impact your chapter’s insurance next year in the form of a surcharge)
    • CLD will end by 4:30 p.m. local time
    • Lunch is provided for all participants
  • What’s the dress code?
    • Business casual (collared shirt and pants)
  • What’s the cost to attend CLD?
    • There is no registration fee to attend CLD. However, travel and overnight accommodations are the responsibility of each chapter. Note: Some chapters have an educational fund through the Sigma Alpha Mu Foundation in which they can request funding from, please contact Nancy Dietmeyer (nancyd@sam-fdn.org) for more information.
    • Each registrant will receive program materials and lunch. Breakfast is not included in the CLD registration.
  • What if our chapter doesn’t attend CLD?
    • There is a fine of $1,000 for not attending CLD. Additionally, there would be a 5% surcharge to your Risk Management and Insurance rates for the next year for failure to send the required delegation (required to send 6).
  • What if one of our council leaders cannot attend?
    • Exceptions will need to be approved by Fraternity staff prior to the session start date. Please contact your chapter coach ahead of your CLD date.

 

80% of chapter leaders that attended a 2020 Chapter Leaders Day felt more prepared for their leadership role after attending the conference.

Chapter leaders shared skills that were gained or enhanced at Chapter Leaders Day:

“Enhanced my ability to think about ethical concerns and gained knowledge about the access I have to resources that can help when making decisions that concern my Chapter.”

“Communication and decision making skills”

“Learned more about the importance of inclusion and engagement as I prepare to be Candidate Educator”

The Octagon, Chapter Leaders Day Committee and Fraternity staff look forward to meeting you at an upcoming Chapter Leaders Day!
