Progress: Leadership Training for the Future of Phi Kappa Tau wrapped up last week on Thursday, February 24. Taking place virtually over three Thursdays in February, as well as a primer session for Presidents at the beginning of the month. Progress saw over 300 chapter officers visit the virtual workspace to engage in fellowship with their brothers and learn how to better operate as a leader in their chapter.

Building on the inaugural Progress from 2021—birthed out of the necessity for virtual programming due to the Covid-19 pandemic—this year’s Progress hoped to build on that success while having chapter officers continue to walk away with Objectives and Key Result (OKRs) based goals for the upcoming calendar year. Over 10 Presenters brought the program to life throughout the three weekly sessions. Broader large group topics covered included diversity, equity, inclusion, mental health, lifelong commitment, and strategic planning. In smaller breakout rooms, brothers were divided by officer role to dive deeper into their goals as officers and share ideas with one another in small group session.

The program was brought to life through the Education Committee of Phi Kappa Tau, with Educational Dean Michael Lukins, Washington ’08, serving as lead. Other members of the education committee including the newly appointed National Education Advisor Don Stansberry, Ohio ’87, who attended throughout the sessions providing insights and guidance.

While Phi Kappa Tau looks forward to returning to consistent in-person programming in the very near future (more details to come), learning how to navigate a digital space has been a giant leap in adding accessible alternatives for brothers who may not be able to attend in-person. The future is looking bright for the educational programming of Phi Kappa Tau as we all Progress forward into 2022.
