Foundation sponsors 2009 Presidents Academy – January 2009

It’s time to ring in 2009 with our best and brightest leaders. During the weekend of January 9-11th, 26 collegiate men who currently serve as chapter president will travel to Chicago for a weekend-long program devoted to improving their leadership skills.

Phi Kappa Theta conducts this annual leadership program, known as the “Presidents Academy,” specifically for our collegiate chapter presidents. The Academy features workshops and seminars led by well-known and respected professionals in the fields of leadership, management, motivation and character development. Attendees network with other chapter presidents and take away numerous resources to be effective leaders.

The Presidents Academy was established in 2002 through the generosity of several alumni donors, including a major gift of $100,000. The program is endowed and fully funds the cost of 25-30 chapter presidents each January. That number is representative of applications we receive; however, should more chapter presidents apply, we would be unable to fund any more attendees. Therefore, we need to increase the size of our endowment in an effort to fund 100% of chapters, which would be 50.
