Alpha Gamma Rho - Educational Foundation

To advance chapter success, our chapters need focused training for their leaders and advisers—both as individuals and as a team—so they can chart their vision and strategic planning for excellence on their campus and beyond. The Top Leaders Institute is the solution to do just that. Reach: This program will bring together the chapter leadership team—nine executive chapter officers, emerging leaders, advisers, housemother/director, and alumni—from each of our 71 chapters to set their goals and strategy for the year ahead. They will receive professionally developed, customized training to meet their chapter's needs. Annually, we will hold the Top Leaders Institute regionally, creating an environment where peer chapters can learn from each other, the staff, and alumni facilitators. Focus: Brothers will learn how to work together as a team, improving their synergy, readiness and capacity for leadership. Together, they will create a strategic plan for their chapter, focused on how they will grow, achieve financial stability, improve communications, and build partnerships with organizations focused on agriculture, food, fiber and natural resources. Specialized recruitment training will target broadening AGR's representation across all programs impacting our agricultural future, as well as increasing membership among first-generation, minority, transfer and non- traditional student populations. Impact: Through reaching more than 700 undergraduate and alumni leaders annually—building knowledge and expertise year-over-year in every chapter by engaging their leadership team as a cohort—you will see vast improvement in the strength of your chapter's operations and recruitment. Stronger chapters will create a stronger national enterprise for Alpha Gamma Rho. And a stronger Alpha Gamma Rho will advance the agricultural industry while positioning our alumni at the forefront of its success. Provides training for up to nine officers in 71 chapters, reaching over 700 leaders each year. Strengthens growth and development for both individuals and chapters. Reduces impact of annual officer turnover by establishing benchmarks through strategic planning. Results in year-over-year improvement in chapters, from greater alumni engagement to higher GPAs, and from more diverse recruitment efforts to better retention. Leads to the advancement of the agricultural industry, positioning our alumni at the forefront of its success. THE IMPACT OF THE TOP LEADERS INSTITUTE 6
