Learn more about what makes a great event, and how to ensure that your events are successful for both your chapter and the board members who host and plan it. In this session, we'll tackle the different aspects of year-round educational event planning via the NAHREP 10 principles.

Organizing Events Rebranded: Adopting a 300+ Mindset
No matter the size of your chapter, NAHREP as a subject will always attract attendees to your local chapter events. How do we blow your attendee goals out of the water? With so many approaches to various types of events, chapters across the country routinely host events that achieve 300 or more attendees. And we aren't just talking about galas—We're talking about educational events and business rallies that easily sell out. Let\'s brainstorm ways to get your chapter to host a 300-person (or more!) event in 2024!

Shoring Up the Future: A Guide to Fundraising
Sponsors of our organization want to know that their money is being managed wisely and that they are investing in an organization that is going to be around for a long time. Chapter leaders should apply these same principles to the management of chapter resources. You save money in your personal life to ensure that your family will be provided for in any scenario, your goal should be the same for your chapter. We will share roadmaps for chapters of every size showing how to accomplish your 2024 fundraising goals.

Building a Winning Team: We're Only as Strong as Our Weakest Directors
Every starting line-up needs a good bench to back them up. As a chapter, it is important to identify and nurture future leaders to carry the chapter legacy into the next generation. So, what do you look for in a board director? Together, we'll explore how to build a winning team, surround chapters with successful business owners, seek out habitual volunteers, and engage those with an eagerness to help current board leadership.
