Excellence Expeditions 
Excellence Expeditions are an exciting part of Kappa Delta's leadership education. Attending one is an experience like no other. This weekend-long regional workshop, led by members of the National Council and other National Officer faculty, is offered for selected collegians and chapter advisory board members. Kappa Delta's Excellence Expedition is a weekend of educational opportunities that will enable attendees to set attainable goals for their chapters. They'll gain experience in goal-setting, action-planning and follow-through, and learn strategies and tactics in such areas as leadership development, membership recruitment and retention and enhancement of positive chapter visibility. These regional weekend conferences are offered every year in varying locales around the country. Chapters may or may not be invited to attend based upon the chapter's proximity to the Excellence Expedition location. The purpose of the Excellence Expedition is to help chapters turn their dreams and aspirations into reality. On the Expedition, KD sisters will focus on the basics of sound chapter management – effective chapter leadership, a quality membership and recruitment program and positive campus prestige. Those who attend gain expertise in goal-setting and learn strategies and tactics that really work. Find out how to get the chapter excited and ready for success. Best of all, attendees return to their chapter with a practical plan in hand. Chapters that are invited to attend are requested to send the chapter VP-membership, VP-operations and VP-public relations. (If any of these officers has an unavoidable conflict, her space will be filled, with permission of the CPP, by another council officer or by a younger chapter member who is deemed to have strong council potential.) A member of the CAB of each chapter is also invited to attend. Due to the Presidents and Emerging Leaders Conference in February, presidents are not obligated to attend. Other chapter officers, including the president and additional CAB members, are welcome to attend for the full price of the event. Please call the national headquarters if you plan to send more than the required officers.
