The National Leadership Conference (NLC) is an event that brings NSBE national and regional leaders together to further their professional development and share innovative ideas. During this conference, leaders discuss their plans for their time in office. NLC meetings cover topics including strategies and tactics for effective communication, and various patterns of leadership. NLC prepares NSBE regional leaders to train their chapter leaders at the Regional Leadership Conferences (RLCs).
NLC allows attendees to gain and hone their skills as leaders within NSBE and in life. This conference provides information and training to boost the success of attendees in their NSBE leadership positions, in their academic courses and, ultimately, in their careers.
NSBE’s National Leadership Conference provides training for national and regional leaders of the Society, preparing them for their terms in office and helping them give NSBE members a beneficial, high-quality experience.
One important purpose of NLC is to level set the Society and establish its direction for the year, placing our membership at the heart of our leaders’ journeExclusive Parking Discount at Swissotel Chicago:
