Due to several factors, NASSP has made the difficult decision not to host the LEAD Conferences or the NatStuCo Conference in 2022. However, powerful connections will continue to be made between students leaders and their peers thanks to NASSP’s Student Leadership Network.

Leadership is a valuable skill that needs to be continually honed and encouraged. That’s why NASSP and its student leadership programs work together to provide ample opportunities for students around the country to collaborate with each other as they learn how to apply innovative leadership practices to their unique school communities.

LEAD Conferences

LEAD Conferences take place throughout the year and are energizing events unlike any other, where students and advisers alike can experience interactive training, motivation, and networking with peers from far and wide. Participants sharpen their skills, engage in meaningful collaboration, and share innovative ideas about serving their communities—and leave with everything they need to enhance their leadership.

National Student Council Conference

Student councils from around the country and beyond join together at the annual National Student Council Conference to practice their skills and expand their peer networks. With a new theme each year, students, advisers, and administrators learn how to harness the power of student leadership to increase the impact of their councils.
