Learn actionable sales and marketing tips, tools, and techniques you can apply today, and beyond your undergrad experience. Plus, walk away with clarity on what “brand” means for your Chapter. Win today. Win tomorrow.

Friday, July 30
8 a.m. – 5 p.m.: Registration
9 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.: Leading from the Front: Changing the game with the BMP
Do you have what you need to be the best version of yourself? Is your chapter’s BMP ready to position your brothers for success in life during college and beyond? Will you be the brother that leads member development to new heights? How we prepare our members for the challenges that life throws at them determines not only the success of our chapters, but also how far our brothers will go in accomplishing their goals. This session will challenge your preconceived notions of the BMP and prepare you to lead your chapter's development.
11 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.: Brotherhood Luncheon
