How can alumni support undergraduate members attending Alpha Kappa Lambda national events and training?

As the needs of our membership change, the National Headquarters staff is working on updating current leadership programs and creating new educational opportunities for all members. Providing support for our national events will enable our undergraduate members to receive the highest quality training without the need to increase costs. Helping undergraduate members attend national events and leadership programs is an excellent way to support each chapter. AKL National Headquarters encourages alumni to donate to the chapter they wish to support. Any donation given to the AKL Education Foundation is considered a tax-deductible gift. Here are some great ways your gift can support the fraternity’s undergraduate members.

National Conclave

The National Conclave is a biennial, three-day event where the fraternity holds its business meeting, national officers are elected, and policies and constitutional changes can be implemented. Educational opportunities are also provided to those in attendance. National Conclave also offers an opportunity for all members to reconnect with brothers from across the country and enjoy the brotherhood that we all share as AKL.

Presidents’ Academy & Officers’ Institute

The Clark-Thompson Presidents’ Academy & Officers’ Institute is an annual, three-day academy for incoming Chapter Presidents and officers. This program offers comprehensive tools and training on all aspects of chapter operations, including business operations, finance, risk management, and more.

Emerging Leaders Initiative

AKL encourages all undergraduate members to further develop their leadership skills through various programs offered throughout the year. The Emerging Leaders Initiative is a program designed to motivate and train those members with aspirations for future leadership positions. This program is vital for developing and training members who join with the desire to become future officers, volunteers, and leaders.

Chapter Recruitment Training

The Fraternity of Alpha Kappa Lambda offers Chapter Recruitment Training, providing recruitment training to chapters. This program offers comprehensive training in all areas of recruitment and growth, encompassing formal and informal recruitment, strategic planning, officer resources, fraternity expansion, and online educational programming.

Supporting Registration Costs

The registration cost is a barrier to chapters being able to send the largest number of members to a national event. The AKL Educational Foundation is generous and capable of keeping costs as low as possible for our undergraduate members; however, a registration fee still applies.

Donations to the AKL Education Foundation will enable the sponsorship of one or more members’ registration fees. This will count as a tax-deductible gift when given through the AKL Educational Foundation.

Supporting Travel Costs

Travel costs are another barrier for undergraduate members to attend national events or training. Giving can support travel costs in several ways.

Airline Miles Donation: Are You a Frequent Flyer? Your airline miles can be donated to support the travel of one or more undergraduate members attending national events.

Vehicle Rental Assistance: Not all members have access to a reliable vehicle to drive to national events. Supporting a chapter by covering the cost of a rental car is a fantastic way to ensure safe travel to and from events.
