Training
Last year’s Conclave saw a new training program called Conclave University, and this year it’s back and even better! The Conclave University training cells are geared to offer a more diverse and expanded opportunity for arrowman off all rank and age. Conclave University will be innovative, hands-on, age relevant, and fun! Training is set up as an “university” with four different “college tracks” that participants can attend. The four college tracks are Kitchknet (OA Program), Allowat Sakima (Leadership), Nutiket (Ceremonies/American Indian Activities), and Meteu (Advisers)
College of Kitchknet (OA Program):
This track is recommended for all first time conclave participants. The sessions within this track are designed to help move new Arrowman
into a leadership position within their chapters and lodges. This track includes lots of fun activities including jeopardy with candy prizes!
College of Allowat Sakima (Leadership):
This track is recommended for all Arrowman interested in learning more about leadership. The training cells offered are designed to solidify your leadership skills and make you a better leader for the future. The cells offered address all the leadership needs and often will build off past leadership experience. These training cells will also include many fun games and activities.
College of Nutiket (Ceremonies/American Indian Activities):
The training cells offered in this collage are designed for ceremonies and AIA enthusiasts. The cells are aimed to improve and develop the lodges ceremonies team through proper application of regalia and the ceremonies themselves. This college will offer much more hands on and workshop classes with the opportunity to build your own regalia.
College of Meteu (Advisers):
This collage is designed for adults and advisers. The training cells offered within are to help new advisers along with the more experienced ones. It also offers the opportunity to participate in an open forum facilitated by sections advisers.
