Enhance your annual meeting aesthetic

In the Greek community, annual meetings are the ONE time of year the organization’s entire leadership assembles. These crucial meetings are where leadership elections and important bylaw additions/revisions take place and typically are limited to the highest officers within each chapter or emerging leaders who would benefit from understanding the inner-workings of the organization. Attendees leave empowered with a refreshed sense of brotherhood/sisterhood and a better understanding of how these national/international organizations operate.

An event logo is so much more than an icon posted on a registration sign or program cover. It immediately sets the tone for the entire event at a single glance.
