Outcomes
For the Student
Students will discover the four phases of effectively managing people and production and identify how each phase is geared to resolve a specific leadership challenge. They will explore challenges that crop up for any supervisor related to managing results and leading people. Participants will learn important milestones in fraternal history and how the sector has grown yet retained its spirit of benefitting members and communities for the common good.
For the Society Leadership
Societies enrolling a student in the Fraternal Career Development Series will be making an investment in their organization by cultivating and retaining talent. During a tight labor market, it is critical to identify individuals with potential and give them the tools to succeed. The fraternal system is a gratifying space to work and one that will see significant retirements and a loss of institutional knowledge at the executive level. Make the Alliance’s affordable Fraternal Career Development Series part of your enterprise risk management plan.
