But the continuation of the work remains the focus of our future. Our Founding Fathers envisioned a fraternity focused on improving the lives of the communities we serve. If not us, then who? I’m excited to join each of you, as Sigma Men from every city and campus prepare to gather in the Southwestern Region to experience “A New Way to Conclave.” We’re transforming our conference in order to transform lives. I encourage you to make preparations today to be apart of this groundbreaking convention. I AM MY BROTHER’S KEEPER: DESTINATION LITTLE ROCK • 2015 CONCLAVE When President Barack Obama sounded the call with the White House initiative, My Brother’s Keeper, Phi Beta Sigma responded in loud refrain “I Am My Brother’s Keeper,” the theme and focus of Conclave 2015, Destination: Little Rock. 2 Securing the future of our young boys of color is the primary focus of Conclave 2015. This convention will feature I Am My Brother’s Keeper Forums, a series of brain trusts focusing on empowering our young men. Joining Phi Beta Sigma will be some of the most acclaimed thought-leaders engaged in relative topics facing today’s youth. Mentoring is the way! I’m excited to devote Conclave 2015 to enriching the conference experience of our Sigma Beta Club program. I’m enlisting all alumni chapters to make sure your club members don’t miss this experience. This is your Conclave 2015 Chapter Planning Took Kit. It provides your chapter with all of the necessary information and forms needed to fully prepare for Conclave participation. You’ll find valuable content on our host city, hotel and a dayby-day agenda. Also included are the forms needed for proper registration for the convention, competitions, activities, citations and recognitions. Please review the forms carefully and submit them timely according to the deadline dates. The General Board, Conclave Planning Team, Headquarters Staff and Host Chapters are eagerly working to assure that members and chapters will enjoy a total new experience. You will leave this conference transformed and ready to transform. Honorable Brother Jonathan A. Mason, Sr. International President PHI BETA SIGMA FRATERNITY, INCORPORATED INTERNATIONAL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR GREETINGS CHAPTERS!

This booklet is provided to your chapter with all of the tools and information needed to enjoy a complete convention experience. In this document are answers, processes and guidelines to effectively complete and submit forms for every component. 3 PHI BETA SIGMA FRATERNITY, INCORPORATED City of Little Rock, Arkansas I AM MY BROTHER’S KEEPER: DESTINATION LITTLE ROCK Come on over to the Southwestern Region, where the city of Little Rock, Arkansas, will welcome you with hospitality. As Arkansas’s capital city and cultural core, the greater Little Rock area will provide Sigma Brothers and guests with a wealth of engaging experiences. In fact, Little Rock received numerous accolades, including being ranked #1 in 2013 by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance in its annual “10 Great Places to Live,” and being named one of “Five Secret Foodie Cities” by Forbes Travel Guide. With so much to see and do, we are confident you will fall in love with Little Rock. I AM MY BROTHER’S KEEPER: DESTINATION LITTLE ROCK • 2015 CONCLAVE Situated on the Arkansas River, Little Rock is home to a thriving New South culture that offers a vibrant nightlife, big-time entertainment, world-class attractions and a booming dining scene with the best Arkansas restaurants serving up dishes from all over the globe. The fact that the city is one of the top Arkansas vacation spots and among America’s most affordable cities means you can have fun and keep your money in your pocket. 4 Little Rock has a big role in history, as it’s home to famed Central High School, the battleground in the struggle for civil rights featuring 1957’s The Little Rock Nine, a group of African American students that desegregated the school following the historic Brown v. Board of Education ruling in 1954. Just a few city blocks away from the Little Rock Marriott, the host hotel for Conclave 2015, lies the William J. Clinton Presidential Center & Park. Explore the city’s Riverfront Park, a 33-acre urban park located along the south bank of the Arkansas River. The park is home to many great attractions and events. First Security Amphitheater, Arkansas’s largest outdoor concert venue, offers scenic views of the river as a backdrop. STATEHOUSE CONVENTION CENTER Little Rock’s Statehouse Convention Center is located in the heart of the downtown convention and entertainment district. It’s only a short walk or trolley ride to a wide variety of restaurants, performing arts venues, world-class attractions, and an assortment of outdoor entertainment activities, all ready and waiting to be enjoyed, day or night. The center is attached to the Little Rock Marriott and is only steps away from a collection of hotels offering guests everything from historic charm to the latest in modern convenience and luxury.
