• STUDENT LEADERSHIP - THIS PROGRAM SERVICE AREA INCLUDES THE REGIONAL LEADERSHIP CONFERENCES, CHAPTER OFFICER LEADERSHIP TRAINING, STATE OFFICER TRAINING, AND THE STATE OFFICER PROGRAM OF WORK. THESE EVENTS ALL FOCUS ON THE LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT OF THE MEMBERS. STATE OFFICERS RECEIVE EXTENSIVE TRAINING AND THEN TRAVEL THE STATE CONDUCTING LEADERSHIP WORKSHOPS INSIDE CLASSROOMS.

THE REGIONAL LEADERSHIP CONFERENCES ARE A SERIES OF ONE DAY CONFERENCES HELD AROUND THE STATE WHERE STUDENTS HAVE THE ADDED BENEFIT OF INTERACTION WITH STUDENTS FROM OTHER SCHOOLS IN THEIR LEADERSHIP WORKSHOPS. CHAPTER OFFICER LEADERSHIP TRAINING IS LESS EXTENSIVE THAN THE STATE OFFICER TRAINING BUT HELPS TO PREPARE THESE STUDENTS TO EFFECTIVELY COORDINATE CHAPTER ACTIVITES AT THE HOME SCHOOL.
