Officers - you have a special opportunity to make your college president
more aware of ways an engaged chapter can benefit your college - invite your
college president to the 2008
International Convention.
Phi Theta Kappa's 90th
anniversary Convention is scheduled April 3-5 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
For the first time in history, Phi Theta Kappa and the American Association
of Community Colleges - made up of college presidents and administrators
- will meet together in Philadelphia and hold a joint Convention session
on April 5, which will officially open the AACC event.
Phi Theta
Kappa's International President Casey Maliszewski and Executive Director
Rod Risley will be featured speakers during the joint session. And, so they
may learn firsthand about Phi Theta Kappa, college presidents are invited
to arrive in Philadelphia in time to attend Phi Theta Kappa Convention events
April 3-5. Convention registration fees will be waived for all college
presidents.
Very soon all chapters will receive printed invitations
to the Phi Theta Kappa Convention events and joint Phi Theta Kappa/AACC
General Session. Chapter leaders are encouraged to hand-deliver this
invitation to their college president - and Good as Gold Week, November
12-16, is the perfect opportunity! Make an appointment now to meet with
your college president during Good as Gold Week, to present the invitation
and encourage your president to attend. Presidents may register by returning
a response card enclosed with the invitation.
College presidents
are especially invited to a dinner in their honor on Friday, April 4, at 6:15
pm, with Convention keynote speakers Christiane
Amanpour and James
Rubin. Presidents are also invited to the Friday evening General
Session at 8:00 pm, when Amanpour and Rubin will speak; and to the Saturday
morning General Session at 9:00 am, to hear speaker George
Will.
