In addition to the great activities here in Nebraska, NASC encourages students and advisors to participate in national and regional conferences and activities.
A delegation from Nebraska attends the national student council convention each summer, giving them the opportunity to meet and network with leaders from all over the United States. It's also a great chance to see different parts of the country, as the convention is hosted by a different school each year. Delegates from Nebraska travel together and get to know one another better, which helps make for a stronger state association.
This year the National Student Council conference was held in the Dallas/Fort Worth area at Northwest High School in Justin, Texas. Some of the highlights were...
• Guest speakers: Representatives from the Young Democrats and Young Republican organizations
• Conference-wide Service project: All students learned CPR.
• Visits to a Texas water park and to Six Flags Dallas
• Community dinners with host families

As a Nebraska group, we took a pre-trip before getting to Dallas. We took a bus to San Antonio for two days of fun at Sea World, the San Antonio Riverwalk, the Alamo, and the Market Square, an authentic mexican mart.
