2021 Archon Academy

Due to the Covid-19^th pandemic and travel restrictions, holding an in-person Archons’ Academy is not possible this January. We strongly feel that it is important to still hold an event online to help new chapter presidents assume their position and lead their chapter. The advantage of this environment is that we can expand our reach and include other officers in the programming. The primary academy will take place on January 9^th and then supplemental follow up sessions will occur in the evenings throughout the month of January. All sessions are open to any undergraduate and alumni advisor to participate and most will be recorded to be viewable later.

Like a typical year, certain participants will be required to attend, and chapters that properly participate will receive a discount on the 2021-22 Risk Management Assessment.

The schedule for the Academy, session descriptions and positions that are required to attend each session are below:

27^th Archons’ Academy – Saturday, January 9^th Noon until 6PM Eastern

At this session International Office staff will talk about our history and values and what they mean today; organizational leadership including harm-reduction practices and goal setting; and what we need from chapters regarding reporting and dates to keep in mind.

Every chapter Archon (President) and Angelos (Vice-President) is expected to attend this session.

Mike Dilbeck – Leading Expert in Courage and Dignity

“Dignity U” – Tuesday, January 19^th 7 until 8:30 PM Eastern

The primary objective of DignityU is to identify and distinguish the essential elements of dignity, as distinguished by Dr. Donna Hicks, internationally renowned authority on dignity and expert consultant to DignityU. There is also a call to look in to how dignity impacts a person’s own thoughts and actions, in both their lives and in their respective organizations. More importantly, a key component will be to demonstrate ways to intervene against the personal violations of someone’s dignity, while recognizing the difference made by respecting the dignity in others.

This session is different than our other sessions of Archons Academy and you must register in advance here.

After this Keynote every chapter officer and adviser will be given resources to allow this workshop to be shared by the chapter.

Required Attendees: 2^nd Angelos (External Vice President), New Member Educators, Social Chairman, and Risk Manager

“The Birkman Method” – Thursday, January 21^st 7 until 8:30 PM Eastern

An exciting component of this years Archons’ Academy is the incorporation of the Birkman Method Personality Assessment. The Birkman Method reveals four key perspectives of every person: Motivation, Self-Perception, Social Perception, and Mindset. In understanding these perceptions and how they influence each other, individuals can better understand the emotions and actions that drive their life.

In the opening session we’ll be providing instructions to the chapter officers on how to complete this assessment and this follow up session we’ll be joined by Chris Woods, a partner at PLAID, who can explain the results and share some takeaways.

Required Attendees: Archon (President) and each Angelos (Vice-Presidents)

“Advice from an Archon” – Wednesday, January 27^th 7 until 8:30 PM Eastern

We invited 3 former Archons to review a solution to a problem they faced Fall as well as offer advice to incoming chapter presidents. This session will be followed by a Q @ A for participants. This will replace the regular Archons Town Hall that would otherwise be occurring on this day and we’ll introduce New Archons to those as well.

Required Attendees: Archons

We are also finalizing two sessions that will have details announced soon, but will not occur before January 25^th . Those will be on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion as well as Recruitment (focusing on strategies in the current environment).

We will work with chapters if, at any session, a required attendee needs to be replaced by another brother, or if a chapter does not have a specific officer or chair elected at this time.
