Leadership Training Conference 2009 (LTC)

The ASME Student District Operating Boards (SDOB) will be holding their second SDOB Leaders Conference (SLC) in parallel with the Leadership Training Conference (LTC). Approximately 40 student leaders from around the world will be in attendance, and will participate in several of the LTC sessions as part of their Leaders Conference.

The co-location of their conference with the LTC provides both Students and LTC delegates a perfect opportunity to network, identify opportunities for collaboration, and understand one another better.

SDOB Leaders Conference Program – Friday and Saturday SLC sessions will take place in the Orly Room on the Second Floor.
