THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF STUDENT LEADERS SAN JOSE DOUBLETREE HOTEL HIGH SCHOOL CONFERENCE | MARCH 28-30, 2015 HS Program.Sandi.indd 1 3/16/15 6:06 PM WELCOME TO THE CASLab A HYPOTHESIS FROM THE PRESIDENT Greetings fellow innovators! Since the dawn of time, history has been guided by mankind’s vision for a better tomorrow. We look around and ask the tough questions while tirelessly working to discover their answers. But innovation is not an overnight thing, and it relies on the passion and dedication of young leaders to ensure that dreams become realities. The focus of this year’s CASL State Conference equips student leaders with the skills and resources needed to take any activity, event, or idea from good to great. On behalf of the 20142015 CASL State Board, we hope the next three days of keynote speakers, professional-level workshops, and networking will provide ample opportunities to think differently and spark the innovation within all of us. Welcome to the CASLab: it’s time to test a new solution. --Nathan Glovinsky, President A HYPOTHESIS FROM OUR HEAD SCIENTIST As Steven Johnson said, ‘If you look at history, innovation doesn’t come just from giving people incentives; it comes from creating environments where their ideas can connect.” It is my hope the CASLab is that environment for you! Moreover, you leave the conference with the commitment to remain curious, go back to your campus and community and notice what has been done and what remains to be done. Dream big, and sincerely begin to practice testing new solutions, which allow more people opportunities to become connected. Your schools are lucky to have you, as we know the campus would look very different without you, the student leaders. I applaud and thank each one of you for all that you do. Let’s now take it from good to great and keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we can feel the excitement of possibilities and create a better world, together. --Sandra Kurland HS Program.Sandi.indd 2 3/16/15 6:06 PM LABORATORY BLUEPRINTS HS Program.Sandi.indd 3 3/16/15 6:06 PM CONFERENCE AGENDA CONFERENCE AGENDA HIGH SCHOOL DAY 1 [SATURDAY, MARCH 28th] 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM Registration (bayshore ballroom) Advisor Networking (presidential suite) 1:15 PM - 2:00 PM Lab Meeting 1 (refer to lab key) 2:15 PM - 3:30 PM General Session featuring Omékongo Dibinga (gateway ballroom) 3:35 PM - 4:05 PM Advisor Meeting (gateway ballroom) 3:45 PM - 4:15 PM Workshop 1 (as ticketed) 4:10 PM - 4:55 PM Advisor Networking (presidential suite) 4:25 PM - 4:55 PM Workshop 2 (as ticketed) 4:30 PM - 5:00 PM Advisor Room Key Distributions (hotel lobby and presidential suite) 5:00 PM - 5:30 PM School Meeting (advisor’s choice) 5:45 PM - 6:15 PM Key Distributions (advisor’s choice) 6:15 PM - 7:00 PM Dinner (bayshore ballroom and sprigs) 8:00 PM - 8:45 PM Intrastates (refer to lab key) 9:00 PM - 10:30 PM Dance (gateway ballroom/bayshore foyer) 10:35 PM - 10:45 PM School Meeting (advisor’s choice) 11:00 PM Lights Out!

Together let’s tell your story and let’s fill in the blank. #IAm______ MEETING MADHOUSE SAM CARLENZOLI [Northern Director] Are your ASB’s meetings draining? Too long? Boring? If so, stop by this workshop to learn how to plan and execute a successful meeting. Be it small or large groups, or informal and formal meetings, the skills from this workshop will help take any meeting from good to great. LEADERSHIP ABC’S (BACK TO THE BASICS) GABRIELLE DELLA RIPA [Southern Director] We student leaders live incredibly busy lives; so busy we can sometimes forget the simplest of leadership values. Come join me in a throwback to our nap-time and coloring book days in a review of the three key leadership lessons we learned in kindergarten. Don’t forget your crayons! GOING BEYOND THE SURFACE MARVIN FLORES [’13 Southern Director] Although you may not know someone at first glance or first impression, there’s always a back story to everybody. Come and learn how to learn one’s story and work on not assuming how someone is! THE PRESIDENT’S PARTY NATHAN GLOVINSKY [President] Serving as ASB President can be one of the most challenging, yet rewarding experiences in our leadership careers. At “The President’s Party”, we’ll meet the other ASB Presidents in California and learn how our actions not only represent ourselves, but our entire ASB and school. We’ll also have the opportunity to make new connections, share our presidential pet peeves, and learn ways to lead our student governments with integrity and enthusiasm.

SUCCESS DOES NOT ALWAYS COME WITH A MEDAL NICOLE NORDSTROM [’12 President Emeritus] Leadership is not defined by one’s position of authority, list of accomplishments, or sense of entitlement.
