I found two words in Pledged by Alexandra Robbins.

1. salutary – “Instead of being an undesirable thing as many pessimists would have us believe, the clique, as established by the sorority, is a most salutary arrangement for grouping college girls into congenial coteries.”  — The Sorority Handbook, 1907

Salutary means producing good effects, beneficial.

2. plenary – “’The Values Institute’ held on the second day of the conference, was comprised of a series of plenary and breakout sessions on the four pillars.”

In this case, plenary means to be attended by all participants at a conference or assembly, who otherwise meet in smaller groups.
