 Leading from Any Chair
Alpha Zeta and Pioneer have partnered extend this workshop beyond NALC. There are a limited number of opportunities for Alpha Zeta to present this workshop at no cost to your chapter. At least 25 attendees are needed in order to have a diverse group of leadership styles. The two-hour workshop makes a great activity to pair with a chapter or officer retreat, initiation or speaker.

The National Agricultural Leadership Conference and 50th Biennial Conclave will be held in St. Louis March 29-31, 2007. Planning is already underway for AgTours, workshops, speakers and activities. St. Louis is a hub of agri-industry, production, research, biotechnology and innovation. Start making plans to attend now.
Possible chapter development pre-conference
 Officer training, recruitment, retention and building a stronger chapter would be on the agenda. The program would start Wed. night, (a day before the NALC and Conclave starts) March 28, 2007, and run through Thursday afternoon. I'm interested in your thoughts: What should be covered? How much should it cost? Who should attend? [ Suggestions ]
