As America’s Student Leadership Trainer, Dave Kelly has developed this comprehensive retreat as his premier student leadership training program. As the name implies, the program combines seven of Dave’s most powerful student leadership modules into the definitive program for student leaders. During this retreat, your student leaders will learn:

• Student Leaders’ Roles and Responsibilities – They’ll learn what they’re supposed to do in their volunteer, appointed or elective leadership position
• Recruitment Techniques – Learn to effectively recruit new members so you’re running at full capacity with maximum effectiveness
• Membership Retention – Keep your members involved, active and committed
• Fun and Exciting Meetings – Learn to take out the boredom, inject your meetings with effectiveness and keep everyone showing up
• Playing Well With Others – Conflict in student organizations is going to happen. Dave shows your students leaders how to prevent it, spot it, deal with it.
• Confidence in Leadership – Self-confident leaders inspire confidence, dedication and loyalty in others. This motivational piece is a must for student success.
• Secrets of Motivation – How to get member to give their best to the organization

This program is perfect for any campus club or organization, but is most effective when all of the leaders and advisors for your campus’ club and organizations attend. Why? So that every organization on campus will be on the same page! They all have the same understanding of how to run the organization effectively, they’ll reduce the number of complaints about ineffective methods, and they’ll all have written guidelines instead of relying on someone’s opinion or the classic “that’s how it’s always been run!”

• You’ll also eliminate a lot of the drama and conflict that happens between campus organizations, which can only mean fewer headaches and less distraction for the activities directors and everyone involved.
• Best of all, your organizations will begin to work with each other on activities and projects. Intercampus cooperation!! What a concept!

Whether it’s one organization or many, you’ll emerge with a blueprint for your year, so you’ll know where you going, what you’re going to achieve and what the end result will be.

You’ll create happier and more involved student leaders that will get more out of their educational experience. In the future, they’ll also be more likely to give back to your institution (both financially and personally) because of it. They’ll learn skills that they can apply in their leadership roles immediately and continue to use throughout their lifetime.
