Chapter Officer Retreat for Excellence
About
The Chapter Officer Retreat for Excellence (CORE) program is designed to provide Georgia TSA local chapter officers with an opportunity to develop interpersonal and leadership skills, gain necessary knowledge and abilities to carry out the duties of their individual offices, prepare a Chapter Program of Work for the upcoming year and bond with their fellow officers, in preparation to lead their respective chapters the remainder of the year.
The 2023 CORE Conference will be held at The Kaplan Mitchell Retreat and Conference Center on September 9 - 11, 2023. Plan on arriving at the camp between Registration opening at 3:00pm and dinner starting at 5:30pm. Cabin assignments will be pre-set and picked up at check-in. As part of the CDC precautions we are creating groups, called “Cohorts”, which will stay together throughout the conference weekend. We will not do as we normally would do by mixing up attendees by way of shirt colors. We will use the shirt colors and wristband colors to identify each Cohort, where we will keep schools together.
CORE registration fee is $180 per officer and is all inclusive. Food and sleeping quarters, supplies, camp staff and take-aways. We will also have a TSA Store where snacks, bottled water, soft drinks and TSA Logoed items will be available for purchase.
