As a SigEp volunteer, you are the difference-maker for your chapter. You have the power to shape the leaders of today and tomorrow—and the Carlson Leadership Academy is your chance to sharpen that edge. This year’s volunteer education is designed to help you unlock your chapter’s full potential and inspire your brothers to reach new heights. We’re bringing back two powerful volunteer tracks:
- Balanced Man Stewards — Dive deep into high-quality implementation of the new Balanced Man Program and learn how to create transformative member experiences.
- All other chapter volunteers — Build skills that will not only make you a more effective SigEp leader but will also serve you in every area of life: master facilitation, strengthen your mentoring and coaching, hold others accountable with confidence, and more.
The opening kickoff will begin promptly at 8 p.m. Friday evening. Plan to check in (and eat dinner!) prior.
