Dear Sisters:

Over the next several months, Phi Sigma Sigma will host five Leadership Conferences (LC) across the United States and more than 650 collegiate sisters will participate as official delegates! Leadership Conferences are a weekend-long event, and all conferences include a two-night stay.

Aspire…Challenge…Honor…Integrity…Engage…Value…Excellence

The cornerstone of our LC programming is Phi Sigma Sigma’s values institute – ACHIEVE.  ACHIEVE is about giving leaders the tools they need to effect positive change – in their chapter, on their campus and in their community.  In general sessions and small-group breakouts, ACHIEVE challenges leaders to:

• Explore their own values as they relate to the core values of Phi Sigma Sigma;
• Develop awareness of issues and challenges they may face as leaders and work collaboratively to develop solutions;
• Gain a better understanding of the role of service as an active citizen;
• Create a network of support within the collegiate Phi Sigma Sigma community.

LCs also provide the opportunity to network with your peers, meet Headquarters staff and international officers including Supreme Council sisters and Foundation directors, and create lasting Phi Sigma Sigma memories.  You will not want to miss our Saturday luncheon awards presentation and the Foundation Dinner on Saturday evening.
