Each winter, the Carlson Leadership Academies provide an opportunity for new SigEp executive board officers to confidently step into their role with clear goals and a plan to achieve them. The program focuses on teaching new chapter leaders to inspire their brothers, manage a committee, and hit their goals. Every officer leaves their Carlson with a cohort of peers who will support each other throughout their term.

Other Executive officers, non-executive board officers, committee chairmen, and rising leaders are encouraged to attend Carlson in the Growth Skills track. This track is an intensive program opportunity designed to equip participants with crucial, transferable sales and leadership skills that drive growth, both personally and within SigEp. You will gain expertise in foundational areas, including crafting a compelling pitch, generating urgency, overcoming objections, and the art of making the ask and closing. By focusing on your core "why", you will leave the track with concrete personal and chapter action plans to ensure you immediately apply these high-impact skills to your life and contribute to SigEp's quest for "Largest & Best". This track is your opportunity to develop the confidence and practical skills necessary to excel as a leader and a professional.
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.
Come ready to connect, grow, and leave with the tools to make an immediate impact.
