In this session, we will discuss the “Blockbuster Effect” and how it relates to the ever-changing culture and landscape of maintaining and growing a healthy chapter. We will discuss resources and innovative approaches to building a lasting chapter legacy and acknowledging those who have served, as well as how to “pass the baton” to ensure chapter longevity.
