An RLC Discount Still Available
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind – A new discount is available to Fraters who may have missed the first deadline to register for the 2011 Regional Leadership Conference. Through December 8
th, four people can
register at $25 off per person. The total discount is $100 for the quad rate. This is still a
great deal and there are opportunities to further lower the overall cost.
Ways to save:
1) Talk with Student Services, Greek Life Administrators, and/ or Student Government.
Colleges and universities have money allocated for student organizations to attend leadership training conferences. Often times this money goes unused, but can be accessed by asking the question.
2)
Special Projects Fund
Check with your
Regional Director how much money you have in the Special Projects Fund. This is different from the Conclave Savings Plan which you put $250 per semester to help pay for the biennial
TKE convention. This fund is built up by donors who earmark dollars for your chapter. The
TKE Educational Foundation holds this money for you to access on educational opportunities like RLCs, Conclave, other leadership conferences, or construction on an educational part of the chapter house.
*Don't forget to check your chapter statement for rebates earned on early payment for insurance and others*
3)
Alumni
Volunteers, chapter alumni, and alumni in the area are viable options to seek assistance funding your RLC experience. Educational and leadership conferences demonstrate a desire for excellence as a chapter and fraternity man. It is best to start with the Chapter Advisor for advice on who may be willing to sponsor a member. You can make their sponsorship tax-deductible by having them give it to the
TKE Educational Foundation and designating it to the Special Projects Fund.
4)
Fundraising
Many chapters hold fundraisers to help pay for educational opportunities like the RLCs. Anything from working the concession stand at a sporting event to selling coupon books, members can earn enough money to send multiple members for free to this type of conference. If you need some ideas, check out the
TKE Facebook Fan Page.
Regardless of how you get to the Regional Leadership Conference, it is important for the future health of the chapter to attend. In addition, facilitations and educational sessions can help you become a more successful student, Frater and professional. Candidates, collegiates, and alumni are all welcome to attend. The more Fraters at each location, the more you will get out of the experience. The window of opportunity is closing. Don’t delay. Register for a Regional Leadership Conference today.
