What does it take to lead in today’s world and still stay true to yourself? In this energizing and empowering keynote, psychologist and former Vice President and Dean of Students Dr. Kasi Lacey explores the psychology behind confident leadership, connection, and well-being; both for students and professionals. With real stories and research-backed insights, she highlights what it means to lead with clarity, boundaries, and bold authenticity. Whether you’re mentoring students, navigating complex team dynamics, or finding your voice as a campus leader, this keynote offers tools for building psychological safety, fostering trust, and leading with purpose. Attendees will walk away feeling seen, inspired, and ready to lead from the inside out.

Mardi Gras in New Orleans may have a reputation for being wild, but not everyone is in it for days of revelry. While many go all-in to satisfy their individual need to party, others are thoughtful about letting the good times roll so that the community enjoys this unique, joyous holiday as a collective. This energetic, humorous and interactive leadership development keynote–delivered by a New Orleans native who has thrown Mardi Gras beads to his fair share of parade-goers–highlights the importance of that which is said to be the first commandment of leadership–self-awareness. The mask will come off so that NGLA attendees understand personal leadership as a powerful tool of both purpose and influence. Highlighting the “Parade Personalities You See During Mardi Gras,” we’ll explore how the leader-follower relationship enhances chapters, the Five Follower Types, and how ethical decision-making really rocks the party!

Presented by Morgan Hannaleck

This keynote offers a powerful, personal story of battling perfectionism, disordered eating, toxic relationships, and the pressure to perform—all within a culture that rewards image over authenticity. Licensed therapist and speaker Morgan Hannaleck shares her lived experience with mental health challenges and recovery, and how choosing herself—again and again—transformed her life. Blending storytelling, reflection, and therapeutic insight, Morgan invites students to examine how societal and fraternal expectations impact their self-worth. Attendees will walk away feeling less alone and more equipped to foster authentic connection, emotional resilience, and chapter cultures grounded in care rather than performance.

Are you ready to lead a cultural shift in your community, one that’s fun, empowering, and rooted in your values? Consensuality is a sex-positive, consent-centered, cat-forward (yes, cats!) interactive program that challenges participants to redefine leadership through the lens of personal boundaries, ethical decision-making, and community safety.

Featuring the illustrated book: The Consent Chronicles: A Sexytime Story, you’ll learn how to build a culture where consent is a lifestyle. Together, we’ll examine and rewrite harmful sexual scripts, promote honest conversations about sex, and equip you with practical tools to support your chapter and campus.

This program is intentionally designed to create space for survivors and empower all participants to be proactive leaders in risk reduction, peer accountability, and culture change. You’ll leave prepared to set healthy boundaries, intervene when needed, and align your actions with the founding values of your organization.

“Suspect” may be a better word than “Know,” but the clues, signs and indicators of hazing tend to be consistent and recognizable in student groups. Some are obvious, such as lower than average grades, attrition above a certain percentage, carrying heavy objects in backpacks and black plastic garbage bags covering first floor windows during certain times. Other indicators are subtle: delaying the identification of “bigs” until late in the program, PNMs required to have Life360 or a similar app, coded language in descriptions of the PNM process relating to endurance and commitment, the use of a PCP, and disproportionately high fees for joining. We’ll review a list of 25 practices, actions and activities that suggest hazing is occurring in clubs, organizations, teams, bands and fraternity/sorority life and questions to ask about those activities.
