Leadership Opportunity

I had an opportunity offer to me by the University Program Board on campus to attend a conference Called National Association for Campus Activities (NACA). The NACA convention was held in Rochester, MN for the Northern Plains schools. This was the first time I have ever been to a conference for any organization that has strong ties with the school. I was glad I took the opportunity to go to NACA, because I had learned a lot of information.
The conference had education sessions, showcases of entertainers, and camps that the agency try to promote the sells. The camps for NACA was interesting to me, because the entertainers and agency really push to get the school sales. The camp layout was set up by putting tables in rows and columns that each entertainer had one table to fill their promotion ideas to sell in the space they were given. It was interesting on the ways that the entertainers and agency would do just to get the attention or the chance to be able to perform at an individual school.
The conference had four education session that had lesson that topics were ranged from films to art to group structures. The education session was helpful to me, because I went to the group session and how to become a leader session or what is it to be a leader session. These session provide group activities of working together and how to be a leader to motivate the group to want to do certain things they desire to do. One of the education session even taught me some of the terms of contracting an entertainer and ways to do a contract and the regulations and rules of doing a contract. This was very informal education session that I had learned a lot.
The most fun part about the conference was the show case of the entertainers. The entertainers that was selected to perform at the conference were fun to watch. The performer wanted to sell themselves and they did whatever they could do to get your attention by performing funny acts or showing of their talents. This experience was once in a lifetime and help me get a better knowledge of being a leader. It provide me the skills that I will need to work on now and in the future.
