The Middle Level Regionals Leadership Conference began in 1992. Today, the program annually serves more than 2,000 students and advisers. Middle Level Regionals are one day leadership workshops designed to introduce younger students to the world of student government, excite potential leaders to the possibilities of student leadership and energize a group of ASB Officers for the end of the year. Each year 10-12 host sites around the state open their doors to serve schools. At each host site for Middle Level Regionals, an average of 180 students from 25 schools attend. The workshop faciliators are staff members from the popular middle level summer leadership camp program.
