ASGA's National Student Government Summit September 24, 2008

The Ultimate Conference for Student Government Leaders & Advisors

At the 2008 "National Student Government Summit," you'll improve your SG and network with peers amid the inspiring vistas of our nation's capitol.

In your spare time, shop at Union Station, snap photos of the majestic monuments along the Potomac, meet your representatives face-to-face on Capitol Hill, or satisfy your intellectual side with a free visit to the Smithsonian museums. In the evenings, you can grab a bite in Chinatown, discover real jazz while strolling down U Street, mingle at a trendy bar in Georgetown, or see a play at the infamous Ford's Theater.

Any SG leader from any school, no matter what state you're from, is welcome to attend!

The 2008 "National Student Government Summit" features:
• Dozens of intensive workshops designed to address the specific needs of your Student Government
• Workshops for all levels of Student Governments: very evolved and strong groups, new SGs just starting out, and SGs trying to improve
• Experienced and knowledgeable speakers from across the nation, all of whom are former SG leaders/advisors themselves
• Workshops and presentations that directly apply to SG advisors and administrators
• Private consulting by appointment
• Extra built-in time to network and brainstorm with other SG leaders and advisors attending the conference
