Network with Top Student Government Leaders & Advisors in New Orleans
Welcome to New Orleans, the Big Easy, for a day of learning and networking for Student Government officers, members, and advisors. Whether you’re the president, vice president, chief of staff, a legislative leader, or a brand-new senator, this conference will give you the knowledge and ideas to make this the best year yet for your SG. Any SG leader from any school, no matter what state you’re from, is welcome to attend!
WHO
Student Government officers, members, and advisors from colleges and universities of all types and sizes. Public universities. Private colleges. Community colleges. Large schools. Small schools. Very evolved SGs, brand-new SGs, and SGs in the middle trying to improve. The New Orleans Student Government Training Conference is one of the largest SG conferences in America each year — usually 100-200 student leaders and advisors from 20-30 institutions in 10-15 states attend.

Plus private 1-on-1 consulting, built-in connecting time to swap war stories and steal ideas with other attendees, and plenty of free time to enjoy everything New Orleans has to offer.

WHY
Because your Student Government deserves better! Don’t accept:
- Voter turnout so low it’s embarrassing
- Officer and committee positions no one wants to fill
- Students who don’t know your SG exists
- Administrators who don’t take you seriously
- Meetings that accomplish nothing
- A budget you don’t know how to spend
- Officers who leave office having changed nothing
- Average grade of 4,000 SGs nationwide: D-
- Average grade of SG web sites nationwide: F
You can do better. Every SG can. ASGA has spent decades helping student governments across the nation go from overlooked to indispensable. The knowledge, tools, and inspiration you’ll get at this conference will change how you lead — and what your SG can accomplish.
