The success of SNEAPPA relies on the willingness of institutional members to host chapter meetings. The benefits to hosting a meeting will far exceed the efforts that go into the event, including:
- An opportunity to help fellow members grow their knowledge from the experiences on your campus
- Excellent exposure for your your institution
- An opportunity to recognize your staff for their accomplishments by presenting the success of your programs
- An opportunity to get great support from your peers for challenges that you are facing
The list can go on and on!
We hope you will consider hosting a meeting as we would like to fill our calendar for the next few years.
Please use the following guide to see just how easy it is. You will also be supported by a professional conference planner from “Impressive Gatherings” who will handle the full registration process for you!
