Welcome!

Hello Friends and Family!

I am now eight days away until I begin my journey on the road to start visiting chapters! For each visit, I will be posting on here about my time with different schools, the places I saw, and the places I went to eat. Although I will be busy, I hope that this is a good way to explain to y’all what I have seen while on the road.

To give you a quick introduction to what I do as an Educational Leadership Consultant, I will travel to different schools where we have a Lambda Chi Alpha chapter and normally spend three days with them. While there, I will hold an opening meeting where I introduce myself, have the chapter give me some of their background, and give a case study to help find ways to improve the chapter. While on-site I will be with chapter officers one-on-one for a hour a piece and gauge how they are performing in their office and give them advice to help them improve and succeed to help contribute to their chapter. Once this is all said and done I will meet with the officers as a whole and explain to them what I see as areas of improvement but will praise them on areas of operation that they are excelling in. Once that visit is over, I pack up and move on to the next school.

While on the road I will be visiting 23 chapters and be assisting two fellow co-workers in starting a colony on the campus of Illinois State in Normal, Illinois. The states in which my chapters are in are: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. I will be on the road from August 18 – December 8, with some breaks here and there. I cannot wait to share my experience with everyone!

If anyone has recommendations on places I should visit whether it’s attractions, golf courses, or places to eat please contact me!

I look forward to this experience!
