Attendees will be seated in groups with other board directors from local chapters across the country. You’ll spend the day together masterminding and sharing insights as each Chapter Success pillar is covered. You’ll also begin planning an Educational Event. Throughout the day, you’ll have the opportunity to land Event Sponsors, confirm payment for vendors, request speakers to help increase attendance at your event, and ultimately present your findings of your event to Gary and other NAHREP leaders.

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.

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 2025!

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, and your goal should be the same for your chapter. We will share roadmaps for chapters of every size on how to accomplish your 2024 fundraising goals.
