As a newly elected Chapter President, the insights gained at Academy were invaluable. it was reassuring to discover that I am not alone on this journey and the support I found was overwhelming. The connections made with other colleagues and the many resources provided were particularly beneficial and will help me lead my chapter. I highly recommend this experience to all chapter leaders!"
