A Note From Your President and Vice President:
Hey, NASC! Trevor and I need your help. Would you please contact us with the location and date of your district convention? If you would want the State Executive Board to speak at your event, and if we are able to attend, such topics might include: successful fund raising tips, managing budget, effective delegating or possibly to encouraging delegates to attend Summer Leadership Workshop, JAM, and Nationals this summer. We know you know all about the benefits of a national or state leadership workshop, and you already try to push attendance in your districts; however this year, We hope the Nebraska delegation will be able to send a larger number of leaders to the both the National Convention and our Summer Leadership Workshops right her in our own state.
Due dates are approaching for nationals. Check the NASC website at nasc.org for more details.
If you have further questions, you can contact either of us preferably by email at chevyk2@hotmail.com.
With gratitude,
Vincent Chechevi Kouakou
NASC President

In addition to the great activities here in Nebraska, NASC encourages students and advisors to participate in national and regional conferences and activities.
A delegation from Nebraska attends the national student council convention each summer, giving them the opportunity to meet and network with leaders from all over the United States. It's also a great chance to see different parts of the country, as the convention is hosted by a different school each year. Delegates from Nebraska travel together and get to know one another better, which helps make for a stronger state association.
This year the National Student Council conference was held in the Dallas/Fort Worth area at Northwest High School in Justin, Texas. Some of the highlights were...
• Guest speakers: Representatives from the Young Democrats and Young Republican organizations
• Conference-wide Service project: All students learned CPR.
• Visits to a Texas water park and to Six Flags Dallas
• Community dinners with host families
(For full details click the picture on the right to go to the National Association's Conference webpage.)
As a Nebraska group, we took a pre-trip before getting to Dallas. We took a bus to San Antonio for two days of fun at Sea World, the San Antonio Riverwalk, the Alamo, and the Market Square, an authentic mexican mart.
For more information about national and regional conferences, contact co-executive director Mike Musil at mmusil@lps.org or Kati Settles at ksettles at KSettels@paplv.esu3.org.
