Student Leadership

National Conference on Student Leadership
For thirty years, the National Conference on Student Leadership has equipped collegiate student leaders and their advisors with comprehensive tools to achieve their leadership potential and positively impact their campuses and communities.  The 2009 theme is "Find Your Balance".  We all have the same 24 hours a day (and 7 days a week) to balance our responsibilities. Learn from nationally renowned speakers who will give you their insight on balance. Network with hundreds of student leaders and advisors to share your thoughts on how you handle (and balance) your daily schedule. We hope you'll find this conference hands-on and helpful and you'll take back lots of ideas to your campus, but also put those ideas into practice in your daily life.
Dates: April 4 - 7, 2009
Location: Boston, MA
