Power of 7 Seminar
MARCH 31-APRIL 2, 2023 | NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE
CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
Do you remember the last time you visited your chapter, saw a FH brother or met a current undergraduate member? If you’re like me, it doesn’t matter how much time passes—when I interact with FarmHouse again, I am immediately reminded of what those transformational years did for me.
The young men I meet today remind me of the lessons I learned in FarmHouse. I remember FarmHouse is for a lifetime when I see a brother who has been a loyal friend since college or find out a colleague I have admired for years is also a FarmHouse man. Does this sound familiar?
If it does, I believe you will find the Power of 7 Seminar is an unmatched opportunity to re-connect with FarmHouse. I invite you to attend the Seminar, March 31-April 2, 2023, in Nashville, Tenn., and experience this for yourself.
