The 2022 Association of Fraternity and Sorority Advisors Annual Meeting will take place in person at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center located in National Harbor, MD (right outside of DC) from Wednesday, November 30 through Saturday, December 3.
This year’s Annual Meeting schedule and content was created to provide attendees an experience that complements four focus areas:

- Retaining Talent: Rethinking our work to support continued professional investment
- Creating communities of care: Advancing wellbeing, physical, social, and emotional health
- Working towards belonging: Investing in equity and access in the fraternity/ sorority experience
With new offerings added and reimagining of different components, this year’s Annual Meeting also aims to increase the number of compelling general sessions available, create new opportunities for dialogue and relationship building, broaden recognition, and bring quality professional development experiences to those in attendance.
