Because of the success of last year's Recruiters Roundtable, silver level sponsors and above receive the opportunity to participate in the Second Annual Recruiters Roundtable. This session will bring together recruiters from around the country to discuss industry best practices, share ideas and hear directly from students and recent alumni on the overall recruiting process.
GIS is conducting a survey for the second year, that was shared with more than 4,000 students and recent alumni to determine what participants are looking for in an employer, which strategies companies have employed that work to get a potential employee's attention, as well as to gain an understanding of the influences that contribute to the decision to work for their employer of choice. The Recruiters Roundtable will take place on Thursday, September 28, from 8-11:30am.

Sustaining Partners to Attend the GIS Leadership Symposium
August 25-27, 2017 in Columbus, Ohio
Each year the Leadership Symposium (formerly the Leadership Conference) serves as a kick-off to a new academic year. It is a forum for leadership development and an opportunity for attendees to network, discuss event and fundraising ideas, and receive updates from Grand Chapter.
Our Sustaining Partners have the exclusive opportunity to meet nearly 100 of our top student leaders from over 70 chapters across the country who have been brought together for chapter management, leadership training, networking, and more. This year we are thrilled to include our Sustaining Partners in a Meet & Greet that will provide their organizations with opportunities to meet many of our top students through an informal "speed networking" session. This will be followed by a "mini-Career Fair," serving as a way for you to meet one-on-one with any students who may have stood out during the speed networking session, and to further evaluate our students for opportunities within your respective organizations. Our Sustaining Partners are granted FIRST ACCESS to our top student leaders from across the country at this inspiring event.
