08 Aug Summit 2021
Refresh, Reset, Renew
At LFE Summit 2021, incoming officers of the Lambda Phi Epsilon International Board transitioned onto their leadership roles and set the strategic direction of the organization for the upcoming academic year. The meeting convened through a hybrid approach of virtual and in-person attendance at the Dallas Marriott Suites in Dallas, Texas. All officers were fully vaccinated against COVID-19 prior to attending LFE Summit 2021.
“I love the culture and vibe of the International Board; everyone is super welcoming and it feels like a chapter outside of my home chapter,” said Communications Coordinator Malvin Malai-Harrison. “Serving is a great way to continue the LFE experience while giving back to the brotherhood with dedicated brothers.”
The meeting sought to align new and returning officers with goals and expectations for the upcoming year. The weekend-long program centered around CORE priorities:
• Competence: Equip fraternity leaders with the skills to succeed in their roles.
• Ownership: Empower individuals to drive collective goals and make sound decisions.
• Relationships: Establish a high bar of trust among all levels of leadership.
• Execution: Illustrate by example how to coordinate lasting and impactful programs.
“We also contributed directly to the new strategic plan, which helped us develop goals around our teams organically,” said Director of Programming Ian Galope. “It was motivating to hear all of the wonderful aspirations and it really showcased the drive the team has to succeed.”
The theme for the weekend—”refresh, reset, renew”—influenced the facilitation of goal setting. Team building activities staggered throughout LFE Summit 2021 ranged from guided meditation to intimate card games to board breaking.
“I enjoyed having the chance to meet fellow IB leaders and learn about the inner workings of the IB level of fraternal government,” said Northeast Governor Jamal Wells. “I’m hopeful for the future of our fraternity and glad to have the chance to help in its prosperity.”
