The Mission
NLDC is a program which entrenches to empower the leadership of Nu Alpha Kappa with the skills and ideas for running an effective chapter throughout the upcoming school year.
It exists to foster chapter development and inter chapter networking and bonding, to enhance the leadership abilities of our elected and emerging leaders, and to unify the chapters of the Fraternity under the current agenda of the National Executive Board of Nu Alpha Kappa. NLDC is an annual event to prepare our undergraduate chapter officers and emerging leaders for the coming academic year.
NLDC also serves as a venue for our NAK leaders of all chapters, both undergraduate and alumni, to gather in open forums and discuss the important issues facing our brotherhood. The Conference allows the brotherhood to share a vision of leadership and begin the process of planning the next academic year.
Stay tuned to this page for the latest information. Please email neb@nakinc.org. with questions or concerns.
