Quick Answer
Pack three to four mix-and-match pieces in salmon pink and apple green for the daytime sessions, plus one statement piece for the banquet. Keep the print quieter for training days.
The Leadership Conference is the working year's other anchor, less pageantry than the Boulé, more training, strategy and executive presence. The brief is sharper: look like the leader the room already takes you for.
Held in the years between Boulés, Alpha Kappa Alpha's Leadership Conference exists to build the next set of leaders, chapter officers, committee chairs, program directors. The days are dense with training and strategy, and the dress code reads more executive than festive. That doesn't mean a closet of suits. It means a few sharp pieces that carry authority and let you focus.
You're dressing with a house that the women AKA honors already choose: honorary members Tamron Hall (in a pink-and-green Sai Sankoh shirt dress) and Yolanda Adams have both worn the label, which was named Best Resortwear by D Magazine in 2024.
For a leadership room, let the pink-and-green read as polish, not pageantry. Green works beautifully as an executive color, a green wide-leg trouser, a green shirt dress, paired with ivory, camel or black. Keep the print quieter for training days and save the boldest pink for the awards dinner.
Opening and general sessions: sharp and simple, wide-leg trousers with a clean blouse, or a tailored dress, classic pumps. Training and strategy workshops: comfortable, professional pieces you can sit and move in for hours. The awards dinner: your boldest pink piece.
“Look considered, like someone the committee trusts.”

Understanding the measurements
1
Length is what matters
Use length to choose between styles — Melba (57”), Mini (23.5” front), Marlo (59.5”). The kaftan will fit.
2
Chest & shoulder are garment dims
Do not compare to your body measurements. The kaftan is intentionally oversized.
