Kansas Student Council Association NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF STUDENT COUNCILS - ANNUAL CONFERENCE

Purpose

The NASC National Conference is a time to come together and hear nationally known speakers, learn new skills through small group workshops, educational sessions, and advisor sessions; participate in a service learning project; and visit area attractions. Participants will come away with renewed enthusiasm for student council involvement at their schools and new projects and ideas to implement. In addition, both students and advisor delegates from the US and other countries will share diverse ideas and lifestyles, thereby developing stronger leadership skills and friendships.

The 2009 NASC Conference will be held in Denver, CO from June 27-30, 2009; Kansas delegation meeting on June 26 in Denver. The conference will be hosted by Highland Ranch High School.

Students entering grades 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 in the fall of 2009 and faculty advisors or schools administrators who are members the National Association of Student Councils are eligible to attend. Schools are limited to six delegates per school (one advisor and five students). [NOTE: An advisor must accompany students from a school, unless arrangements have been made to "share" an advisor of another KS school that is registered to attend.]
