I would definitely encourage other councils across the nation to bring the Advance Panhellenic! workshop to their campuses. It's important among councils to have dialogue about the issues their council faces, and I believe Advance Panhellenic! is a great way to do that. It also provides a way to find solutions to your problems, which is an important component of any program and discussion...Overall I enjoyed the workshop and would definitely recommend it.

Promoting women’s leadership to advance organizations, campuses and communities.

In partnership with the National Panhellenic Conference, Advance Panhellenic! is an opportunity for your College Panhellenic leaders to gather for meaningful conversations. This workshop aims to strengthen the leadership roles of participants by providing the tools they need from the NPC to be a successful student organization Advance Panhellenic! helps develop guidelines and tips for leadership, transitions, programming, community building, public relations and recruitment.

These women will review where the College Panhellenic needs to advance, create a standardized mission statement and establish what changes need to be made. Participants will leave with an action plan for moving their College Panhellenic forward.
