Advanced Workshop

This workshop has been rescheduled for February 10-12th. The one-day advanced workshop will still be held in Byron on February 11th, as well. There is still time and space to register for either event (deadline February 3rd)- see the IASC website for registration info (listed under Calendar page and the Publications) page. Hope to see many students at both workshops!

STATE CONVENTION NEWS!
January 27th, 2012 Communications Director Greetings from the IASC! We hope the first part of your school year has gone well. It’s already time to start thinking about our annual IASC State Convention. Carlyle High School is the proud host of this year’s convention, “Surviving the Trip to Leadership.” On behalf of CHS and the IASC, we extend an invitation to your student council to join us at the Springfield Hilton Hotel in Springfield, May 3-5, 2012. Registration materials have been sent out and are also available on the IASC website under “Publications.”
Over the course of three days, students will gain the tools necessary to survive the trip to leadership. Whether it’s our engaging speakers, interactive discussion groups, or the opportunity to network with students from across the state, students and advisors alike will leave with a better sense of their own leadership abilities, and will return home full of information and knowledge to re-energize their councils and schools.
For more information on this year’s convention, visit the convention website at convention.illinoisstuco.org, or contact Macie Guthrie, IASC Convention Secretary, at mguthrie@illinoisstuco.org.
