Two weeks ago, an historic meeting took place in an historic hotel in Memphis, Tennessee. It was NPC’s first Annual Educational Conference. Last November, the NPC Board of Directors approved a new structure. The revised governing documents “allow for the development of a new organizational and governance structure designed to make the Conference more nimble and responsive to the most pressing challenges facing students, campus partners and the greater Panhellenic community.”
The new governance structure includes a Council of Delegates comprised of a representative from each of the 26 member organizations. This Council deals with NPC membership and Panhellenic policies.
NPC now has a seven member Board of Directors. Five are elected member and two who are appointed from the member organizations in the rotation. This rotation has been an NPC custom since 1908, a few meetings after the organization began meeting in 1902.
Kudos to the NPC staff who put together a terrific meeting at one of the most beautiful of historic hotels, the Peabody Hotel in Memphis. It was my honor to speak at the Saturday night dinner. The “Power of 26” is indeed powerful.
