Beta Theta Pi is excited to invite you to submit your availability to serve as a facilitator for one of our award-winning programs taking place in 2027! Below is a brief description of our programs and the facilitator roles we are looking to fill for each. Please review each program and the roles available before submitting your availability.
Winter Leadership Conclave (including the Miller Nichols Chapter Presidents Leadership Academy, Keystone Leadership Conference, and Hugh E. Stephenson Jr. Leadership Summit)
In 2027, Beta Theta Pi will once again host the Chapter Presidents Leadership Academy, Keystone Leadership Conference, and Leadership Summit at the same time under one roof! This long weekend of programming will bring together more than 600 collegiate chapter officers, volunteers, and General Fraternity Officers for position-focused education, leadership development, team building, and exciting general sessions. We have multiple facilitation opportunities available at this event, including lead facilitators (for groups of 140 collegiate officers) and small group facilitators (of 12-15 collegiate officers), to provide position specific education and leadership development focused on interpersonal communication, feedback, accountability, and developing a strong and sustainable chapter.
The Winter Leadership Conclave will take place at the Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile in Chicago, IL over the following days:
- January 7-10, 2027: Chapter Presidents Leadership Academy
- January 8-10, 2027: Keystone Regional Leadership Conference
- January 8-10, 2027: Leadership Summit
Facilitators will be required to arrive a day prior to the start of the program to participate in training (which will take place the morning of the first day of each program). Facilitators will depart in the afternoon of the final day of the program they are slated to facilitate (Sunday, January 10). Beta Theta Pi will be responsible for the cost of each volunteer's travel (airfare/auto expenses) and will provide hotel accommodations and meals while onsite.

The John and Nellie Wooden Institute for Men of Principle
In 2027, Beta Theta Pi will host three summer sessions of the Wooden Institute in Oxford, OH. Each session brings together over 70 collegiate men from across North America and 16 facilitators (14 small group facilitators - 7 Betas and 7 Friends of Beta working in teams of two - and 2 lead facilitators) in Beta's birthplace for 4 days of brotherhood, values-focused personal development, and fun! The Wooden Institute serves as Beta's emerging leader experience.
Small group facilitators are responsible for leading groups of 8-12 collegiate Betas. They help develop the connection between those members, principled leadership, and being a member of Beta Theta Pi. Small group facilitators also drive participants toward setting personal and chapter related goals. This role requires small group facilitators to be strong relationship builders!
Lead facilitators facilitate large group sessions; they are responsible for educating about the main concepts taught while setting and driving the culture of the session. The lead facilitators also train and develop the facilitator team.
The dates for the Wooden Institute are:
- Summer Session 1: June 5-8, 2027
- Onsite facilitator training begins on June 4, 2027
- Summer Session 2: June 12-15, 2027
- Onsite facilitator training begins on June 11, 2027
- Summer Session 3: June 26-29, 2027
- Onsite facilitator training begins on June 25, 2027
Lead facilitators will be required to arrive two days prior to the session while small group facilitators will be required to arrive a day prior to their assigned session to participate in training. Facilitators will depart on the afternoon of the final day of the session they are slated to facilitate. Beta Theta Pi will be responsible for the cost of each volunteer's travel (airfare/auto expenses) and will provide accommodations and meals while onsite.
