Opportunities: Israel Amplified 2009 Conference
Las Vegas, Nevada
August 9-12, 2009
Israel Amplified is a conference that brings fraternity and sorority students together with pro-Israel organizations to learn, network and strategize new ways to get more Greek students to stand up in support of Israel.
Through educational sessions, group problem-solving and individualized mentoring sessions, each participant will choose from topics like the environment, politics, advocacy, philanthropy, travel, social events and more to focus their efforts and become experts in motivating others to understand why Israel is such an important issue. Model events and expert speakers will be offered each day to demonstrate easy and effective programs that everyone can bring to their campus.
Since 2006, Israel Amplified has resulted in hundreds of student-run programs on campus by exposing more than 200 Greek students to training and speakers like:
- US Congressman Eliot Engel (D-NY)
- Knesset Member Yoel Hasson
- Israeli Consul General Orli Gil
- NIC National President Marc Katz
- National Executives from Greek-letter organizations
- Experienced staff from dozens of pro-Israel organizations
Applicants will be notified on rolling basis after May 20th, 2009. A $100 conference fee will be charged to each accepted participant, of which $18 will be donated to an Israeli-charity that the participants select at the conference. All travel, food and lodging fees are covered by the conference fee.
Israel Amplified is open to any undergraduate student who is currently a member of a Greek-letter organization. The program will begin in the afternoon on Sunday, August 9, and will conclude after lunch on Wednesday, August 12.
