The Muscogee Lodge #116 Chief's Retreat / Lodge Leadership Development Conference will be held December 6-8, 2024 at Camp Barstow.

The Chief's Retreat and Lodge Leader Development Conference (LLDC) is a critical and engaging event for our lodge and chapter leaders to plan for the future and hone essential skills to do their jobs effectively. This event is by invitation only and is designed for elected lodge officers, chapter officers, appointed committee chairs, special guest, and their advisers.

During this intensive weekend, leaders will experience training from some of the top trainers in the area as well as specially tailored working sessions to map out the year ahead. Youth leaders and advisers will work closely together to set a strong foundation for the future of the Lodge. We will also have a meeting of the Lodge Executive Board Meeting to make a range of important decisions. Please register early so we can properly prepare our food, facilities, and program materials in advance.
