Student leaders leading

Our friends at the National Association of Secondary School Principals and the National Association of Student Councils are gearing up for a big meeting next week. The NASC National Conference will be held in Ft. Worth, for more than 1,000 student leaders. According to a press release that BoardBuzz received about the event,

Students will participate in community service projects, team-building activities and various workshops to help enhance their abilities to effectively utilize their voices as student leaders. One of the highlights of this year?s four and a half day conference will be a mass Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) training of the student leaders conducted by local nurses, firemen, EMTs, military personnel and a host of other emergency responders, including staff from the Greater Dallas chapter of the American Heart Association. Proper administration of CPR can help save the life of an individual suffering from cardiac arrest. This training will empower students with the skills that they may one day need to answer such a call to action. During the event-filled conference, students will also get some political insight from Ken Walsh, one of the country?s top political writers and Young Republicans and Young Democrats from universities in the Greater Dallas/Fort Worth area. Walsh, the chief White House correspondent for U.S. News and World Report, has covered the presidency, presidential campaigns and national politics since 1986. Students will participate in a mock presidential election on Saturday.

Sounds like a great opportunity to us! Are student leaders from your district heading to Texas to participate in the conference? Leave a comment and tell us about it.
