Leadership Academy 2008

COTS has been renamed to the Leadership Academy to better recognize its mission of strengthening the skills of chapter officers and to reflect the new structure of the classes. The goals of the Leadership Academy are to present the key elements of each job position and then move on to the issues and questions that the students bring to the class.

The fee this year is $35 which includes lunch. At this price every chapter should plan to bring their whole board for the training and the brainstorming/problem resolution discussions.

Check out the Class Descriptions and then click one of the registration links below. You may sign up as an individual or you may sign up multiple members of your chapter.

Classes will be provided this year for President, Secretary, Treasurer, Music & Performance VP, Marketing and PR VP, Membership VP, and Program VP. If there is no class for your job position this year, we encourage you to attend a different class and learn how that position functions.

The schedule for this one day seminar is at One Day Schedule
