Risk Management Summit
The Sorority and Fraternity Life (SFL) Risk Management Summit is a half-day conference style event designed to educate SFL chapter and council leadership on the basics of risk management and building a safer SFL community. This year we are centering mental health as an important component of the greater risk management conversation.
The goal is for the summit to provide space to learn from a thought provoking general session keynote and various educational sessions all focused on supporting safe communities, building connection and belonging, and mental and physical wellbeing.
As a result of this summit, chapter and council leadership will:
- Gain tangible tools to identify and address risk within the SFL community, including how to organize safe events, practice conflict resolution, and incorporate mindful practices.
- Understand their responsibility to prevent harm and support a community where “Longhorn’s Take Care of Each Other”.
- Promote mental health practices and feel equipped to address risks to wellbeing in their communities.
- Have opportunities to discuss risk management, specifically in relation to supporting safe communities and wellbeing, with experts and peers.
