TRAINING GUIDE
Greetings
from our International Grand Basileus
I
am excited to extend a personal invitation to join us this summer in Washington, DC to learn
how to become better leaders.
The Zeta Organizational Leadership (ZOL) Program committee has prepared a power-packed
curriculum that will keep you engaged as we continue “Building on the Principles of Zeta While
Blazing New Paths”. The tailor-made leadership modules will enhance your skill-set and talents
so that we can take Zeta to the next level.
Leadership and training are fundamental components of any organization. The planned curriculum
will enable us to not only be successful in Zeta but these tools will propel us to be successful as
we matriculate from college, motivate employees, and make positive changes throughout our
communities. When we do better, Zeta does better. Our goal is to create better leaders for the
world!
Congratulations to Dr. Rosie Pridgen and the ZOL Committee for developing this type of curriculum
and working feverishly to ensure a successful program. On behalf of the national leadership
training and development teams, join me, your sorors, and Amicae at the 2015 ZOL training
program. I hope that everyone will leave empowered, energized, and equipped to apply practical
skills and resources for immediate use in your respective chapters, auxiliaries, states, and regions.
I look forward to seeing you in Washington, DC!
Serving for the love of Zeta,
Mary Breaux Wright

interpret and build on the results. Sorors will receive training on balancing their family, career and Zeta lives while serving in leadership roles; specific instruction
on handling financial and legal matters; certification portfolio requirements; and follow-up training. ZOL certification training will be conducted in four phases:
Phase I, advanced study guide and a leadership assessment; Phase 2, on-site training; Phase 3, leadership portfolio; and Phase 4, follow-up training. All phases
must be satisfactorily completed, within the specified time frames, to receive certification.

become effective leaders. The Institute will consist of a two-day, face-to-face training followed by three web-based seminars. Throughout 2015-2016, participants

T
he Zeta Organizational Leadership (ZOL) program
is a future-focused, nationally structured
intensified leadership training program that serves
as the blue print for the Sorority’s leadership
development and enhancement efforts. It was
designed to ensure a future talent pool of leadership
for Zeta on the national level of our Sorority by
delivering consistent, high quality training. It was
developed by a think tank of talented Sorors from
diverse backgrounds who are experts in their
respective fields and are serving and have served
at the highest levels within Zeta and others
organizations.
The overarching goal of the ZOL program is to
provide Zetas with the essential knowledge and
skills to be exceptional leaders within and as a natural
result, outside of Zeta. It is primarily focused on
training Zetas who are currently in leadership positions
and who want to become leaders.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND ZOL?

• Webinars that provide interactive experiences
as well as “how to” information.
