Abstract
This project investigated the reasons why the Lambda Nu Zeta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. is struggling with members not running for leadership positions and adequate succession planning. The project presented a leadership academy manual as an intervention to the lack of members stepping up to run for leadership positions. The leadership academy focuses on leadership development through knowledge building, shadowing, and mentoring. The projected outcome of implementing this manual is the members of the Lambda Nu Zeta Chapter would feel competent and confident enough to hold a position and to fulfill its obligations fully. The Lambda Nu Zeta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. is made up of dynamic women who are passionate about the sorority’s mission and vision. The women in this group are committed to their community and take pride in being a small but mighty chapter. They refer to themselves as the small chapter with a big heart.
