Mid-America Leadership Conference
October 29 – November 1,
2015
Columbus, Nebraska
What
is it?
The Mid-America Leadership Conference is a leadership
conference with training for State/ Local Officers and Advisors on how to run a
local chapter. Students and advisors
will be divided into color chapters and they will run an entire year’s program
in the 3 ½ days of the conference. The students will be planning,
implementing and completing community service projects, fundraisers, officer
elections, newspaper articles, contests, completing secretary’s and treasurer’s
notebooks, business and industry field trips, general sessions and all the necessary
elements to have a successful chapter through the National Program
of Work. Students and
Advisors will have many opportunities to network and interact with students/advisors
from other states. This may be the best Chapter and Officer Development Conference in the
nation.
Who should
attend?
The Mid-America Conference is open to state directors, state
and local officers, advisors and students who want to become better
leaders. This conference is a must for
new advisors. Last year, nine states

Process Driven Conference
The Mid-America Conference
has been re-evaluated and changed to make the training more process driven than
results driven. If you have been to the
Mid-America Conference before, you will want to come back and see the changes. If you have never attended before, you are in
for a wonderful experience. Pretty intense – don’t bring your golf clubs!! We have added alumni training to this
conference. Bring your Alumni
representative along for training.
