The AFLV Central Fraternal Leadership Conference and the National Black Greek Leadership Conference will once again be hosting the joint conference February 10-13, 2011. The conference will once again be held in St. Louis, MO.

This event will feature joint workshops and presentations as well as a curriculum that will address specific issues facing the many councils within our Greek communities.

"This is an exciting opportunity that will allow for inclusive programming and collaboration between campus administrators, national organizations and students to address issues like risk management, intake, intra-council relationships and liability issues" according to Robert N. Page Jr. founder of the National Black Greek Leadership Conference.

"AFLV has worked hard to provide quality programming for members of all councils, and we have specifically focused on increasing the quantity and quality of programming for multicultural fraternity and sorority members the past several years." stated Mark Koepsell, Executive Director for the Association of Fraternal Leadership & Values, "This opportunity is a giant step taking us closer to accomplishing that vision in a forum unparalleled in scope and size within the fraternity/sorority community and we are thrilled to enter another year in this collaborative effort."

Kelly Jo Karnes, Director of Greek Life at the University of Iowa states "There is such a value in bringing ALL members of my different councils (IFC, PHC, NPHC, MGC, etc.) to one location for a conference.  The students not only get to see high quality and amazing speakers, but they get to interact and learn from one another in a 'less formal' setting.  I also believe that by bringing all councils to one location, it can really strengthen the larger community once we return to campus."

The National Black Greek Leadership Conference (NBGLC) was created in 1986 as a means to give undergraduate members of Black Greek Lettered Organizations (BGLOs) the opportunity to network and dialogue on issues that face them on predominately white campuses. Robert N. Page Jr. founded the conference on the campus of Central Missouri State University after attending Mid-American Inter-fraternity Council Association/Mid-American Panhellenic Council Association (MIFCA/MAPCA) in 1986, which became the MGCA Conference and is now the AFLV Central Fraternal Leadership Conference. "This is special because it is sort of a homecoming for the NBGLC as the impetus for this program came from the AFLV Central Conference", said Mr. Page.

The NBGLC has been the home to many of the leading consultants and speakers on NPHC issues such as Dr. Walter Kimbrough, Mr. Lawrence Ross, Ms. Jennifer Jones, Mr. Steve Birdine, Mr. Bryant Smith, Attorney Rasheed Ali Cromwell and many, many more.  The NBGLC believes in the mission and goals of the National Pan-Hellenic Council and supports this mission through its programming.

The 2011 Conference will be held at the St. Louis Rennaissance Grand & Convention Center February 10-13.  More details about the conference will be added in the near future.
