WV TRIO Student Leadership Conference Planning Committee

In this committee, members work collectively to build a three-day conference for students and professionals from WV and the MEAEOPP Region. The SLC committee works to provide strong educational and professional development in a traditional conference setting.

  • Provide location ideas
  • Provide insight on possible sessions
  • Conference Theme and decorations
  • Provide guest speaker nominations

Committee members meet frequently with increased meetings closer to the date of the event to finalize conference related items. Generally, our meetings are from September to March – given extremely busy schedules, we try to ensure that our meetings do not impede on your daily work assignments.

If you are creative and have conference planning experience, please join our team!
