Lead. Grow. Inspire.

Join us for the 2019 NSCS Leadership Summit, August 8-11, where you will learn communication, leadership, and management skills critical to being an effective leader on your campus during the 2019-20 academic year. As we celebrate 25 years of NSCS, we are excited to relaunch the in-person NSCS Leadership Summit in Washington, DC.

Do you want to learn how to be a better leader?

Do you want to meet other NSCS chapter leaders and exchange best practices for chapter success and commit to supporting each other?

Engage with exciting and thought-provoking speakers, specifically selected to meet the needs of your incoming officer board, who will provide invaluable tips, tricks and techniques to help you take your personal leadership to the next level. Discover new ideas, network with other NSCS officers and members from across the nation, and collaborate and engage with your designated Chapter Operations Manager.

Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.
