For Advisors

Why Should You Bring Your Students to an ASGA Conference?

You have limited budgets, limited time & students with busy schedules. Before investing in a conference, you should ask:

“Will this actually make our Student Government better?”

“The best part about this conference happened in the hallways when my students ran up to me with new ideas they were bursting to share.”

Kerry Dieckman · Director of Student Involvement · Medaille College, NY

ASGA Conference

At ASGA, that’s the only question that matters.

For more than 25 years, ASGA has focused exclusively on Student Government — not leadership in general. Student Government specifically. 100% Student Government focus.

The goal is to help students return to campus with practical ideas, proven solutions, and a clearer understanding of how to make their Student Government more effective.

ASGA is the only national professional association in the country devoted entirely to SGA. This singular focus shows in every session, workshop, and conversation.

🎯 What Your SG Can Expect

🎓

Better Trained Leaders

Students learn from experts who have actually served as SG officers, presidents, and advisors — and leave with strategies they can use immediately.

🤝

Stronger Advisor-Student Bond

When you attend together, you develop a shared language. Many advisors say the trip home — talking through new ideas — is just as valuable as the conference itself.

💡

Ideas That Already Work

Interact with peers from community colleges, flagship universities, and everything in between. Leave with examples of what’s working on campuses like yours.

🔥

Renewed Confidence

Students often struggle not because they lack talent, but because they lack confidence. ASGA answers “Can we really do this?” with a resounding yes.

Faster Progress

Stop spending months on problems other campuses solved years ago. Students return ready to act — not just inspired.

🏫

Every SG Welcome

Brand new? Struggling? Highly successful? ASGA offers sessions for every experience level. You won’t feel left behind — or unchallenged.

What Makes ASGA Different?

ASGA is the only national organization devoted entirely to Student Government — not leadership in general.

ASGA Conference

100% SG Focus

Every workshop, roundtable & presentation is built around the unique realities of Student Government: elections, goals, advocacy, campus relations & organizational effectiveness.

ASGA Conference

Speakers Who’ve Done It

No generic motivational speakers. Every ASGA presenter has direct SG experience as an officer, president, advisor, or trainer — and understands campus politics from the inside.

ASGA Conference

Practical, Not Theoretical

Students leave with specific action items, templates, and examples they can adapt for their campus the following week — not just a good feeling.

💬 Common Advisor Concerns

“Will my students actually use what they learn?”
ASGA’s emphasis is on practical application, not theory. Participants leave with specific action items they can adapt for their campus. The expectation: return prepared to implement, not just attend.
“We can’t afford expensive conferences.”
ASGA offers one-day Saturday events, virtual options, and national summits — many on weekends to cut travel costs. Fees have not gone up since 2022. ASGA Members save $100 per person.
“Why ASGA over other conferences?”
Most leadership conferences discuss broad concepts. ASGA focuses on what Student Governments actually face day-to-day. Attendees consistently describe it as immediately relevant.
“I’m not sure which conference is right for us.”
ASGA offers 11 events a year at every level — from one-day Saturday conferences to multi-day national summits and virtual options. A short quiz helps you find the right fit, or call us at 352-373-6907 and we’ll help you choose.
