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.
