The Conference
Schedule offers a
blend of stimulating
workshops and
roundtables which
encourage active
participation.

This conference isn't for everyone. It is designed specifically for committed student leaders and their advisors from two and four-year colleges and universities. This is a working conference stressing small group discussions, a sharing of information and facilitators with solutions to concerns.

Pat J. Bosco, founder of the Center for Leadership Development and administrator at Kansas State University, has over 35 years of experience in student leadership training and student government advising. Bosco, along with a staff of committed faculty members from around the United States, works hands on with the conference program, ensuring the conference reflects current trends and provides newcomers and returning delegates with new discussion opportunities.

The National Leadership Conference on Student Government is the nation's longest-running S.G.A. conference specifically for student government leaders and advisors. Campus leaders looking for a workshop opportunity with a variety of discussion topics, an experienced faculty (over 425 years of collective S.G.A experience), and an opportunity to provide input on the topics presented should look no further.

So we can continue to maintain the quality of interaction among conference delegates and workshop faculty we are once again limiting our conference to 250 delegates.
