The 2023-2024 National Executive Council made a great impact on our organization this past year. From national conferences to Capitol Leadership, and even speaking at the state level, these individuals showed us what it truly means to be a leader. Going through the National Officer Candidate election process myself, I was faced with many battles that took a lot of perseverance and determination to overcome. Knowing this, I am fully confident that our newly elected National Executive Council for the 2024-2025 school year is a group ready for new challenges and experiences throughout their term. Now introducing the 2024-2025, National Executive Council!
