The students will elect next year’s state leadership team. I will be sending the election information out by or before April.
Students running for a position will be presenting a campaign speech. The speech must be no more than 2½ minutes in length. They will be presenting their speeches before the whole assembly. Elections will follow the speeches. The new leadership team will be announced/introduced at the end of the day. The first meeting for the state leadership team is June 20.
We are also planning three breakout sessions. Here is a list of ideas we are considering for the breakout sessions:
Leadership Breakout Strand Ideas
· Communication Styles
· IBA
· Impacting school climate
· Community service
· Leadership as Customer Service
Higher Education Breakout Strand Ideas (College Prep & Technical Schools)

Employment Skills Breakout Strand Ideas

I am in need of volunteers to help with coordinating various aspects of the conference. I would also appreciate feedback or suggestions to help make this event an impacting, positive learning experience for everyone involved.
