A note from John Ogle at National Association for Campus Activities:

• We want to remind you to register for the 2009 NCLP/NACA National Leadership Symposium by the early registration deadline of June 4. For details, please read the attached brochure or go to http://www.naca.org/Events/Pages/nls.aspx. Space is limited. We look forward to seeing you this summer! So don’t wait – get in on the savings now and register by the early registration deadline.

Now in its 19th year, the National Leadership Symposium is a professional development experience designed for faculty members, student affairs professionals and other education practitioners involved with promoting college student leadership education.

The National Leadership Symposium is a joint program coordinated by the National Association for Campus Activities (NACA) and the National Clearinghouse for Leadership Programs (NCLP). Given the intense learning environment of the Symposium (included required reading prior to attending) it is advised that participants have significant professional experience in leadership education. Registration is limited to 50 people.

Are you headed to Providence this summer? If not, you should be! Visit the Association of Leadership Educators (ALE) website to learn more. Great event, with great people, talking about a fascinating topic…you can’t lose. – Scott J. Allen

I attended the ALE conference last summer and had a great experience.  Take a look at the information below and consider a submission and/or attendance!

The deadline for 2009 ALE Conference Call for Proposals proposals is April 1, 2009 for Papers and Roundtables and April 30, 2009 for Posters. All of the other logistical information can be found online at the ALE website.

Registration is now open for the Leadership Educator’s Institute, a three-day institute designed for New and Mid-Level Student Affairs and Leadership Educators.  The institute is Dec 4-6 in College Park, Maryland and is sponsored by NASPA, ACPA and the National Clearinghouse for Leadership Programs.  It tends to be a smaller, more intimate group of people (approx 300) with great conversations through keynote speakers, round table discussion, and breakout sessions about a variety of leadership topics- both theoretical and practical.  Some of the key themes are co-curricular leadership programs, curricular leadership programs, leadership theory and models, and leadership assessment and research.  The Keynote Speakers this year are Gill Hickman from Jepson School at the University of Richmond and Richard Couto from Antioch University.  The institute takes place every 2 years- I attended in 2006 and got a lot out of it- the least of which was great networking.  Hope to see you there! – Paige Haber
