Miller Nichols
Chapter Presidents Leadership Academy

Answering the call of principled leadership

Miller Nichols Chapter Presidents Leadership Academy

The award-winning Miller Nichols Chapter Presidents Leadership Academy (CPLA) is an intense, two-day program that provides chapter presidents leadership training and networking opportunities. The Presidents Academy was named and endowed by the Miller Nichols Charitable Foundation in memory of Miller Nichols, Kansas ’33.

CPLA Highlights

During CPLA, presidents learn to become more effective leaders, develop personal officer goals and design a framework for chapter success. Specifically, sessions will focus on leading as chapter president, gathering and solidifying support for you and the chapter, effectively utilizing the resources available to you, reviewing Standard Chapter Operating Expectations, and networking with top university professionals, General Fraternity Officers and Administrative Office staff.
In 2025, Keystone Conference will take place as part of the inaugural Winter Leadership Conclave.

“Beta Theta Pi continues to vest its ultimate decision-making power in its undergraduates.”
