Why schedule a conference?

The "Looking for the Leaders" one-day Student Leadership Conference is a great way for administrators and youth pastors to expose their students to instruction in principles of Biblical Leadership. This conference has been developed to cover basic principles of Leadership in a single day. The "Looking for the Leaders" conference is really an abbreviation of the full 3-day regional conferences held every fall. Many schools who have regularly participated in the 3-day regional conferences first previewed the Leadership material by either hosting or attending a one-day conference. School administrators and pastors are encouraged to consider one-day conferences for the following reasons:

To preview the Leadership material
To set a day aside for spiritual emphasis
To promote unity within your school
As a follow-up to a regional conference
To encourage your students to be Biblical Leaders

When may I schedule a conference?

Conferences may be scheduled anytime during the year. Administrators are encouraged to schedule one-day conferences well in advance in order to secure the desired date. Dates are limited to speaker availability.

How much does a conference cost?

One-day conferences are less expensive than 3-day regional conferences. The main financial burden includes 1) Speakers transportation costs, and 2) Meal for the students. Student Leadership Conferences seeks to keep the costs very minimal for one-day conferences. The following financial scheme is recommended by the SLC office:

$10 charge per student/sponsor in attendance.

This is divided three ways ...

$4/individual to cover lunch expenses at the conference
$4/individual to cover the travel expenses of the speaker
$2/individual to AACS Student Leadership Conferences for materials and others expenses
