Volunteer education

This year has provided several new opportunities
for our volunteers.

Onboarding programs were created to
provide quality training and immediate
support to new chapter counselors and
balanced man stewards. These new chapter
mentors were paired with seasoned
volunteers for a seven-week mentorship
program. Orientation modules for other
chapter volunteers will be released in the
2015-2016 school year, beginning at our
54th Conclave this August.

Another new opportunity for volunteer
education was provided this year through
pre-Carlson Leadership Academy
programming. Over 150 attended these more intimate discussions hosted
the Friday afternoon of each Carlson
Leadership Academy.

This year also saw the introduction
of a regional, in-person program for our
volunteers called “Drive-Ins.” Drive-
Ins offered free, one-day programs to
volunteers in Richmond, Va., Columbia,
S.C., Ft. Worth, Texas, Philadelphia and
Indianapolis. More than 100 volunteers
attended these inaugural programs. The
2015-2016 programs are scheduled for
Bloomington, Ind., Washington, Tampa,
Fla., Hoboken, N.J., Kansas City, Mo. and
San Diego.

Year-end reflections

As we focus on these five areas, we find
that we’re more reliably attracting the
right kind of member, providing him an
invaluable experience, and retaining him,
through graduation and beyond, as an
engaged alumnus, committed volunteer
and donor.

A continued focus in these areas is
what it will take for SigEp to help solve
large and complex issues affecting our
members and host institutions, serve as
a valued partner in higher education and
provide a complete collegiate experience.

Fraternally,
