Annual Meeting Call for Programs

Welcome to the 2025 Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors Call for Programs

The Annual Meeting is a fantastic opportunity to develop your Core Competencies and learn from your peers in the fraternity/sorority industry about how to advance our profession.

In order to make the learning experience meaningful, it takes members who are willing to share their expertise. We are looking for programs that seek to enhance learning, create dialogue, provide practical knowledge, and fit with the Core Competencies of AFA.

The 2025 Annual Meeting Call for Programs is now open!

Program Proposal Resources

The Educational Programs Committee has created a program submission resource guide to assist you in crafting a strong educational program proposal. The guide provides an overview of the information that will be collected in the proposal form and shares resources and tips you should keep in mind when submitting your proposal. It is recommended that program submitters review this guide, and the resources contained within it, before, during, and when they are ready to submit their proposal.

Program Submission Resource Guide

Members and Non-members can follow the steps below to find and submit a program proposal:

1. Login to FSCentral (Non-members can create a free FSCentral account).
2. From the FSCentral home page, select the “AFA Home” tile.
3. From the AFA home page, select the “AFA Submissions” tile.
4. You will then be taken to our AFA Submissions portal, where you will see the 2025 Call for Programs proposal form.

Educational Program Reviewers

The AFA Annual Meeting Educational Programs Reviewers play an important role for the Association, as they assist in shaping the educational program’s roster for the Annual Meeting. Program reviewers will serve on a team of 3-5 peers and review 20-30 program submissions, providing feedback on each proposal’s alignment with the Core Competencies, learning outcomes, and overall clarity and organization. Reviewers will be assigned to review programs in a core functional area of the fraternity/sorority profession. This micro-volunteer experience will require your time commitment from early June through mid-July 2025.

The Program Reviewer Interest Form is now open! The deadline to submit your interest to serve as a program reviewer is Friday, May 9, 2025. 

Members are required to login to FSCentral to access and complete the interest form.
