About the Event

CASC member high school and middle school Student Councils/ Governments are sending delegations to convene at their Association President's school for the annual Spring Convention.

​

This full day event of motivational speeches, workshops, recognition and elections—is a rewarding experience for all student leaders.

​

WORKSHOPS:: In addition to the general sessions, Convention offers a wide array of 21st Century Skill specific workshops designed to strengthen student and advisor abilities. Delegates will participate in large and small group sessions which will look at topics on:: Citizenship, Training, Recognition, Inspiration, Service, Engagement and Spirit! All designed to help students and advisors learn to communicate clearly, collaborate with others across barriers and in diverse groups, and think creatively and work creatively with others. Each school attending Convention is strongly encouraged to present one workshop. By presenting a workshop, students can share their knowledge and experiences with other students and also improve their own leadership skills.

 

RECOGNITION:: SC/Gs, Students and Advisors are recognized for their outstanding work throughout the year.

​

ELECTIONS:: The election and installation of new Executive Board officers will take place during the afternoon session.
