An exciting new initiative called Success Seekers will be rolling out at NOAC 2018!

As the new century has unfolded for our Order, a strange phenomenon has caught our notice. In some places, our Order is thriving and doing better than ever through our High Performing Lodges (HPL’s). These lodges are constantly filled with brotherhood, innovation, and the high ideals we seek to embody. Surprisingly, we find a gap between this and our second group. These lodges are faced with seemingly unconquerable challenges and find their membership declining, making it feel as though we have two completely different programs. One of the best ways to combat that is through innovation and the sharing of ideas. Many feel that the single best thing that comes from a NOAC is being able to meet fellow Arrowmen from around the nation and exchange ideas on each other’s best practices.

For this program to be successful, we encourage and invite lodge leaders everywhere to apply with their best practices to present in the NOAC training program Tuesday-Thursday. Applications (available here) need to be submitted by May 1st to Sid Salazar (@email) in order to qualify. By sharing what you know with those around you, you’re able to serve in a great capacity and make an impact on countless individuals. We’d love to hear your voice at NOAC.
