Bluegrass Region Conference
History
Created after the Regional Realignment in 2010, the Bluegrass Region held its first Regional Conference at Middle Tennessee State University in April of 2011. Hosted by the Beta Psi Chapter, the superhero-themed conference would have brothers from across the states of Kentucky and Tennessee in attendance and feature guest speakers such as Vice President of Chapter Development Kyle Williams and Vice President of Philanthropy Development Katie Peachey. The following year would have a Wild West theme, due to being held by Beta Phi at Western Kentucky University. National President Jonah Goodman made his debut to the region to give the keynote speech; the conference would also see Vice President of Philanthropy Katie Peachey returning as a guest speaker and attendee. The conference also saw National Secretary Chris McCoy in attendance, bringing the total number of National Council members in attendance to three.
