Each lodge will have the opportunity to host a booth at the NOAC 2024 Elevate Festival this year. Lodge booths should demonstrate an interesting aspect from your lodge, whether it be a unique program, a feature of your part of the country, or something else that is part of your lodge identity. It is a great place to showcase a unique way that your lodge is run, or to show a way that your lodge has created success in the last year. The goal for the Elevate Festival is to leave the participants with something to bring back to their own lodges to help them find more success throughout the next year.
Even if you do not plan to host a booth, it is important for contingent leaders to visit NOAERS and update your booth status. When you enter the registration system you will be asked a few questions, and then you will be put on the list for interest. From there, the Elevate Festival team will place your lodge’s booth among the other booths from around the country.
There will be a competition among all of the booths at the Elevate Festival. Booths will have the chance to win a participant pick (voted on by the participants), a staff pick, and a National Chief’s Pick recognition for both regions.
For more information, please review this list of frequently asked questions. We can’t wait to see what you put together to showcase your lodge!
