Mid-America Greek Council Association/National Black Greek Leadership Conference - Chicago, IL


I spent last weekend attending the MGCA/NBGLC in Chicago with a bunch of our staff members. Chapter Communications has been attending this conference for the past 5 years. It is always a great conference to be apart of. This was a very rewarding conference not only because of the amount of attendees but also because of the feedback we received from current clients. Our booth was located right across from registration which proved to be very helpful. Also, our Wii gaming systems (yes we brought 2) didn't chase people away. We had a contest for the attendees to win a FREE website by bowling a strike in 3 frames. We had people swarming just to play! This only helped our staff to them provide this individuals information about what our system can do for their council and/or chapter. It was a great success!

Even Timothy Roth, our CEO, was joining in on the Wii activities! Jeremy Turner, our National Marketing Director, and Josh Terhune, one of our Regional Marketing Directors, became very competitive and even started challenging the MGCA staff! Don't worry this was all taking place when meetings were in session.

We want to thank all of the fantastic staff of the MGCA and NBGLC as well as all of our current clients who stopped by to introduce themselves. We are also thankful to all of the attendees who came to join in all of the Wii fun and look forward to hearing back from our conference winners!

All in all, this conference was extremely successful and we are looking forward to joining in the fun next year.

Tau Kappa Epsilon - Regional Leadership Conference - St. Louis, MO

I spent this weekend with the men of Tau Kappa Epsilon. I talked to several chapters who were quite excited with what we could do to help them in the future. They have several colonies and of the ones I spoke to were very interested in our colony program. The staff leaders for TKE were helpful and several were encourging their chapters to speak with us further. I believe we will have many more TKE chapters using our services in the near future and look forward to building a better relationship with their members.

Pi Kappa Alpha - Pike University - Dallas, TX

I too spent the weekend with Pi Kappa Alpha in Dallas and had a enjoyable weekend. Several chapters knew about us already and were eager to learn more. The Pike staff was there usual through selves and made a for a great conference. I look forward to many new long term customers from Pi Kappa Alpha.

Pi Kappa Alpha - Pike University - Costa Mesa, CA

I had the opportunity to visit with the Pi Kappa Alpha staff again this weekend. As always they are more than helpful and do everything they can to accommodate the vendors that are present. Like Kara mentioned in her blog about the Atlanta Summit, we had many clients already represented at the Costa Mesa Summit, but I enjoyed meeting with them and taught them a few new things that they weren't aware of before. All in all it was a great conference, had some very productive discussions with the Pike staff and I look forward to working with each chapter in the future.

Pi Kappa Alpha - Pike University - Atlanta, GA

First off , I want to thank Sherry Walker and Rick Burt for being such great hosts. They were very accommodating and as sweet as can be. I also want to thank them for the opportunity for Chapter Communications to host their banquet on Saturday night. This provided our company with another outlet to get our name out into the Pi Kappa Alpha Community. Since we already had many of the attendees as clients it was great to hear feedback from these young men. It was also a great opportunity for these men to tell their fellow brothers about our services and receive a referral discount $50.

Sherry Walker was so intrigued with the demo she saw me give that she called up her daughter immediately. Her daughter loved everything she heard and is proposing using our services to the Panhellenic Council at the school in which she attends.

All in all, attending Pike University this past weekend was a great trip for Chapter Communications and we look forward to attending the Leadership Summit in Chicago, IL February 22-24th.
