INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT
GREETINGS BROTHERS!
“There’s Something Special Going on in Phi Beta
Sigma Fraternity!” The celebration is still alive
as our Centennial year draws to a close. But the
continuation of the work remains the focus of
our future. Our Founding Fathers envisioned a
fraternity focused on improving the lives of the
communities we serve. If not us, then who?
I’m excited to join each of you, as Sigma Men from
every city and campus prepare to gather in the
Southwestern Region to experience “A New Way
to Conclave.” We’re transforming our conference
in order to transform lives. I encourage you to
make preparations today to be apart of this
groundbreaking convention.
I AM MY BROTHER’S KEEPER: DESTINATION LITTLE ROCK • 2015 CONCLAVE
When President Barack Obama sounded the
call with the White House initiative, My Brother’s
Keeper, Phi Beta Sigma responded in loud refrain
“I Am My Brother’s Keeper,” the theme and focus
of Conclave 2015, Destination: Little Rock.
2
Securing the future of our young boys of color is the
primary focus of Conclave 2015. This convention
will feature I Am My Brother’s Keeper Forums, a
series of brain trusts focusing on empowering our
young men. Joining Phi Beta Sigma will be some
of the most acclaimed thought-leaders engaged
in relative topics facing today’s youth.
Mentoring is the way! I’m excited to devote
Conclave 2015 to enriching the conference
experience of our Sigma Beta Club program. I’m
enlisting all alumni chapters to make sure your
club members don’t miss this experience.
This is your Conclave 2015 Chapter Planning
Took Kit. It provides your chapter with all of the
necessary information and forms needed to fully
prepare for Conclave participation. You’ll find
valuable content on our host city, hotel and a dayby-day agenda.
Also included are the forms needed for proper
registration for the convention, competitions,
activities, citations and recognitions. Please review
the forms carefully and submit them timely
according to the deadline dates.
The General Board, Conclave Planning Team,
Headquarters Staff and Host Chapters are eagerly
working to assure that members and chapters will
enjoy a total new experience. You will leave this
conference transformed and ready to transform.
Honorable Brother Jonathan A. Mason, Sr.
International President

INTERNATIONAL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
GREETINGS CHAPTERS!
Make plans now to journey to the Southwestern
Region and experience “I Am My Brother’s
Keeper” and the southern hospitality of Little
Rock, Arkansas. The city of Little Rock is home to
Mu Beta Sigma Chapter, the first chapter in the
history of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity to reach 200
members. Also readily waiting to serve, as your
hosts, are the brothers of Lambda Gamma Sigma
Chapter and Phi Chapter.
I encourage all chapter advisors and chapter
presidents to review the entire kit with your
executive boards or convention committees to
assure that each member is aware of submission
deadlines and registration timelines.
Please feel free to contact your international
headquarters with any questions or concerns
regarding your chapter’s registration.
There’s Something Special Going on in Phi Beta
Sigma Fraternity, Inc. and the excitement will
continue in Little Rock, Arkansas!
See you there!
Brother Daryl A. Anderson, Sr.

City of Little Rock, Arkansas
I AM MY
BROTHER’S KEEPER:
DESTINATION LITTLE ROCK
Come on over to the Southwestern Region, where the city of Little Rock, Arkansas, will welcome you with hospitality.
As Arkansas’s capital city and cultural core, the greater Little Rock area will provide Sigma Brothers and guests with
a wealth of engaging experiences. In fact, Little Rock received numerous accolades, including being ranked #1 in
2013 by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance in its annual “10 Great Places to Live,” and being named one of “Five Secret
Foodie Cities” by Forbes Travel Guide. With so much to see and do, we are confident you will fall in love with Little
Rock.
I AM MY BROTHER’S KEEPER: DESTINATION LITTLE ROCK • 2015 CONCLAVE
Situated on the Arkansas River, Little Rock is home to a thriving New South culture that offers a vibrant nightlife,
big-time entertainment, world-class attractions and a booming dining scene with the best Arkansas restaurants
serving up dishes from all over the globe. The fact that the city is one of the top Arkansas vacation spots and among
America’s most affordable cities means you can have fun and keep your money in your pocket.
4
Little Rock has a big role in history, as it’s home to famed Central High School, the battleground in the struggle
for civil rights featuring 1957’s The Little Rock Nine, a group of African American students that desegregated the
school following the historic Brown v. Board of Education ruling in 1954.
Just a few city blocks away from the Little Rock Marriott, the host hotel for Conclave 2015, lies the William J. Clinton
Presidential Center & Park. Explore the city’s Riverfront Park, a 33-acre urban park located along the south bank of
the Arkansas River. The park is home to many great attractions and events. First Security Amphitheater, Arkansas’s
largest outdoor concert venue, offers scenic views of the river as a backdrop.
STATEHOUSE CONVENTION CENTER
Little Rock’s Statehouse Convention Center is located in the heart of
the downtown convention and entertainment district. It’s only a short walk
or trolley ride to a wide variety of restaurants, performing arts venues,
world-class attractions, and an assortment of outdoor entertainment
activities, all ready and waiting to be enjoyed, day or night.
The center is attached to the Little Rock Marriott and is only steps away
from a collection of hotels offering guests everything from historic charm
to the latest in modern convenience and luxury.
