Summer InstituteThis year’s Summer Institute will take place from August 5th – 9th at UNC Chapel Hill, North Carolina

Chapters who sent representatives to the 2008 Institute earned

$2,600 more per chapter than those who

did not .

+Summer InstituteGeneral Information

For those who are not aware, the Summer Institute is a 5-day leadership training experience that is designed to prepare next year's leaders to run effective Nourish chapters.

The cost is $150 (a limited number of need-based scholarships are available.) This covers the cost of lodging and food.

Though Chapter Leaders typically attend, the Institute is also a valuable leadership opportunity for Exec Board members or general members, as well.

We want to send as many people as we can from our chapter.

What?!
