Those in attendance were Vice-President Evann Vrana, Secretary Mikayla Gall, Public Relations Director Darian Coffey, National Officer Candidate Patrick Colgan, and State Vice President of Membership Anmerie Schirmer.
The event started with a keynote session in which Wahoo High School Adviser Allison Kreifels spoke to the group about The Student Leadership Challenge.
The Student Leadership Challenge is based on 30 years of research by Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner, and focuses on five specific behaviors that leaders can practice in order to improve their leadership skills and, in turn, the organization.

The day closed with a second keynote session in which Mrs. Kreifels challenged all of the chapters to look at their leadership in their school and, using their new knowledge, look for ways to improve their own leadership and their chapter’s standing in the school.
Students are excited about the knowledge they gained, and look forward to a busy year implementing some new programs and continuing to grow.
