Register Now for Honors in Action Academy, Open to All Members
Register now for Phi Theta Kappa's Honors in Action Academy, providing
opportunities for personal development and chapter growth through Society
Hallmarks. The Academy is open to all members, advisors and chapter and
regional officers attending the 2009 International
Convention.
Convention dates are April 16-18, at
the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas. The Honors
in Action Academy will begin April 15 and continue through the morning of
April 16.
Advisors are encouraged to bring their chapter officers
and any members who wish to participate. Members currently not holding
office but who plan to seek chapter, regional and international offices
would especially benefit. Registration for chapter and regional officers
and members to attend the Academy is $85. There is no charge for advisors.
Register
for the Convention by February 22 to take advantage of the lowest Early Bird
rate.
The Honors in Action Academy replaces the three former
separate conferences for advisors, chapter officers and regional officers.
Separate breakouts will be scheduled based on participants' roles, but
joint sessions are planned to promote networking and communication.
Academy
sessions and projects will focus on Honors
in Action, research-based activities related to the Honors Study
Topic, that incorporate scholarship, leadership, service and fellowship.
The Academy will include interactive Honors in Action projects
Wednesday afternoon, in partnership with Keep Grapevine Beautiful. Transportation
will be provided to off-site locations.
On Wednesday Academy
participants should come dressed for the day in casual clothing - long pants,
closed-toe shoes and t-shirts. There will be no time to change after the
Academy begins. Chapters and regions may elect to form non-competitive
teams and wear identifying t-shirts.
The Academy will conclude
prior to lunch on Thursday, April 16.
