- Mini-Summit support (volunteer engagement, topic presentation)
Facilitation (in depth review/discussion of specific topics)

What is the Leadership Engagement and Advancement Network (LEAN) Program?
The purpose of the Leadership Engagement and Advancement Network (LEAN) Program is to build stronger chapters, one at a time. Engagement with the team is totally optional and may be initiated at any time during the year by the chapter. Trained volunteer consultants work with individual chapters to support the chapter, help them define success and guide them towards that success.
Why would our chapter want to participate?
Chapters work with the LEAN Team for many different reasons…it could be that education attendance is decreasing, or there is a need to increase volunteer participation, or the chapter wants to provide education to a new market segment. Participation can help you bring value to the membership through:
- Leadership development and volunteer participation
- Enhanced chapter operations and programs
- Planning for the future
- Managing changes in systems, structure, skills, and culture
