The National Agricultural Leadership Conference, Alpha Zeta's annual conference, focuses on professional development, leadership training and showcasing unique agriculture industry in the host region. Industry partners, the host chapter(s), university faculty and national office present workshops and seminars related to careers, leadership, chapter development and current topics in agriculture.
Attendees tour of local agriculture facilities, industries and/or businesses. Student participants have the opportunity to meet local alumni, business professionals and explore graduate programs and internship opportunities with university faculty.
The Conclave is the biennial business meeting of the Fraternity. It is combined with the NALC in odd years. Each chapter is required by the High Council and National Office to send at least one voting delegate and one alternate to represent the views of the chapter, discuss key issues, and vote on pending motions.
Both the NALC and Conclave are usually held in March or early April.
