03/2/23 – Nominations for KHSAA Student Advisory Group-NFHS National Student Leadership Summit Being Accepted

February 12, 2023 2022-2023 News Releases

The KHSAA is seeking applications to become a member of its Student Advisory Group (2023-24). One of the main duties of the group is the planning and execution of its HYPE Student Leadership Conferences. Those chosen are required to attend the NFHS National Student Leadership Summit in July and then manage the KHSAA HYPE Conferences in September.

The National Federation of State High School Associations offers a student leadership initiative – the National Student Leadership Summit (NSLS). The NSLS will focus on relevant and contemporary issues affecting today’s students in education-based athletics and performing arts. Students will sharpen their leadership skills and will realize the privilege and power of their influence in their school, community, and state.

The NFHS in-person Summit is scheduled for July 29-31, 2023 in Indianapolis. If selected, expenses from Lexington to Indianapolis are covered (meals, lodging, transportation). By applying and being selected, the student is acknowledging that he/she will be in attendance (in-person, virtual) for meetings leading up to and including both state conferences scheduled for Sept. 7-8 in Lexington.

Please complete this nomination form for consideration on being selected as a member of the group by April 10, 2023. For questions about the program contact Association Commissioner Butch Cope (bcope@khsaa.org) or Assistant Commissioner Sarah Bridenbaugh (sbridenbaugh@khsaa.org).
