Then we prepare advisors to take care of the students.
Because doing the same thing we did before, will not bring us the same success this year!

  • Anyone who works with student activities will benefit from this workshop!

  • Hear from nationally recognized experts in student activities
  • Gather with others who understand and support what you do
  • Learn from TASC partners like Work2BeWell and Dude. Be Nice.

 You will walk away with: 

  • concrete plans and practical ideas

  • inspiration to take your group to the next level 
  • partners and friends for your journey of leadership

Enjoy exceptional presentations that give you materials and information you can use immediately:

  • Groups that offer outstanding volunteer opportunities
  • Strands for new student council advisors as well as those who are experienced
  • Strands for those at both the middle and high school level
  • Gain sound expertise from Texas experts on student leadership and leadership classes as well as school culture and climate.

Attend as a school leadership team:  Invite your principal as well as other class and club advisors — take your leadership team! Honor Society members can create a profile and register online. Plan together for an outstanding year at your school.
