National Conservation and Leadership Summit (NCLS)
In the Summer of 2007, over 2,500 Arrowmen from every lodge will join together for the first ever National Conservation and Leadership Summit (NCLS). The NCLS will be the first Summit-type event held since the National Leadership Summit of 1999 at Colorado State University.
The summit will be July 28 to August 1, 2007 on the campus of Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. The cost will be $295 if full payment is postmarked before May 31, 2007 and will be $350 if paid after.
The Summit has been designed for the Key 3 of each Lodge as well as those that are interested in serving in staffing roles or as delegation leaders for the ArrowCorps5 project that will take place in 2008. At the NCLS, the third Strategic Plan (2008-2012): When Tradition Meets Tomorrow, which has been designed by the National Order of the Arrow Committee, will be unveiled to those in attendance.
During the course of this event, Lodge leaders will have the opportunity to participate in workshops that will assist in Lodges implementation of the Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan has been designed to assist lodges in creating a more powerful link between the local council and lodge. Much of the ideology revolving the new strategic plan will build on the predecessor plan, 2003-2007: A Legacy of Servant Leadership.
All Lodge Key 3s and other future leaders of lodges should plan on attending as the Summit will be the foundation for the next 5 years of the Order of the Arrow. Not only will there be plenty of information available but it will also provide a forum for Lodges to exchange ideas throughout the event.
Join the Order of the Arrow and strengthen the ties of Brotherhood by participating in the 2007 National Conservation and Leadership Summit. See you in Indiana!
