Every two years, Alpha Kappa Lambda hosts its National Conclave alongside the Clark–Thompson Presidents’ Academy & Officers’ Institute, creating a distinctive experience that merges Fraternity governance with leadership development.
The National Conclave, AKL’s longest-standing and most significant gathering, serves as the Fraternity’s legislative body. Delegates from active chapters and alumni convene for leadership sessions, constitutional voting, and brotherhood events that guide the organization’s future. Open to all members, families, and friends, the National Conclave is both a forum for decision-making and a celebration of AKL’s mission, values, and traditions.
Running concurrently, the Clark–Thompson Presidents’ Academy & Officers’ Institute offers intensive, role-specific training for newly elected Chapter Presidents and key officers. Programs are tailored for positions such as President/Vice-President, Treasurer, and Recruitment Chair, reinforcing AKL’s dedication to cultivating men of character and effective leaders.
Together, these events exemplify the spirit and strength of Alpha Kappa Lambda, bringing members together in leadership, purpose, and brotherhood.
