Resources for Chapter Advisors

Chapter Activity Calendar
The activity calendar is a timeline of ALD chapter activities throughout an academic year. It will be continually updated, so check back often for new information. You can download it as a Word doc or PDF; or copy it to your own Google Drive to use it as a live checklist.

Chapter Handbook
The handbook is meant to be a resource for new and current advisors and officers. It covers topics such as membership management, best practices in recruiting new members, initiation timeline, chapter activities, officer transition, and more.

Resource Library
This page was designed for advisors and officers looking for administrative assistance in running their chapters. It contains ALD documents, customizable chapter documents, chapter forms and applications, and more.

Advisor Mentor Program (AMP)
AMP is designed not only to connect new ALD advisors with seasoned ALD advisors, but to pair personal/professional strengths to create partnerships that benefit both mentors and mentees. The program looks to assist you in developing your key areas of interest and create an environment in which you can share your expertise with each other.

ALD Service Project
Each year ALD chapters perform community service around a central theme. Visit the Service Project webpage for resources and programming ideas on this year’s theme.

Order of the Torch & Maintaining the Flame
The Order of the Torch is the award for the most outstanding chapters of ALD. Chapters submit a scrapbook describing their activities during the past year.  The scrapbooks are then judged by a committee of Board of Directors members, and the winning chapters are presented with an award banner. To reward chapters that have continued to excel in programming, activities, and service, the Board of Directors bestows the Maintaining the Flame award.
