The first conference of the year is MASC’s annual Fall Leadership Conference. Participating in this conference helps students hone their leadership skills while meeting other student leaders from across the state.  Advisors from member and non-member schools may register students to attend this event.

Secondary students from across the state will attend multiple workshops, activities, and general sessions.  Through attending, students will have the opportunity to develop and hone invaluable leadership skills that they can bring back to their schools and counties, while also meeting many other student leaders across Maryland.

ON-LINE CHECK-IN INFORMATION

1. As noted earlier, as soon as your principal signs your registration, you will receive 2 emails. One of them will have a link to your online Check-In Form. Be sure to save that email and link so that you can easily refer back to it. More instructions will be provided as the event approaches.
2. You may not complete the online Check-In Form until the morning of the event!  (Just as you would never record your classroom attendance for tomorrow today, do not complete this form until the morning of the event. PLEASE NOTE: If you are not the attending advisor for your delegation, it is your responsibility to forward this link to that individual.)
   3.  The morning of the event (on your way or when you arrive), click on the link in the email, and follow the instructions on the form.
   4.  NOTE: There is one Check-In Form for each registration, so if you completed additional registrations, you will have additional Check-In Forms accordingly. All registrations must be checked in separately.
   5. Please also note that by default, subs will assume the workshop assignments of the original registrant. If there are specific changes that need to be made, please see the MASC Registrar at the event.
   6. Nametags for your delegation and any other information you will need at the event will be available from your regional advisor or designee.
