Northern Regional Conference

At the Northern Regional Leadership Conference, members from the state’s northern chapters gather for an engaging one day event. Secondary and Postsecondary/Collegiate members compete in numerous amounts of events varying from skilled to knowledge. A guest speaker attends and enlightens members on certain topics typically pertaining to the medical industry and life lessons and is followed by an entertaining down time session. Come the end of the day, awards are distributed to each event’s top 8 participants where the top 5 later advance to compete in the State Leadership Conference.
