The Leadership Summit weekend will feature leadership and professional development workshops created specifically for Pi Sigma Epsilon chapters. This is not going to be boring Zoom meetings, but interactive events where you will virtually meet members from across the country and be able to share ideas and best practices.

This year, we are taking advantage of the virtual platform by extending the invitation for this event to all chapter Executive Board members, the 2020 Future Leader Team and Prospective Chapter leaders.

Topics we will cover:

Recruiting in a Virtual World
DEI and Your Chapter
Virtual Engagement
Talking with Corporate Partners
Working with Other Chapters
and so much more!
