Mark your calendars for the 2027 LEAD Conference, taking place February 26-28, 2027, in Washington, D.C. This premier event brings together more than 2,000 students and advisors from the National Association of Student Councils (NASC), National Honor Society (NHS), and National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) for a weekend of leadership training, networking, and inspiration. Held at the Washington Hilton, the conference offers a variety of sessions designed to empower student leaders and enhance the effectiveness of chapters and councils. Registration opens in Fall 2026.
School delegations attending register through their school advisor – the school advisor must attend. MASC will also be taking a delegation of MASC Executive Board students (additional interested students on a case-by-case basis, as there is a chaperone-student ratio limit).
