Collaborative Leadership Council (CLC)

The WASC Collaborative Leadership Council (CLC) consists of 24 positions, half of which are students and the other half of which are advisors. The twelve students on the CLC are the six regional presidents from the Senior High and Junior High/Middle School levels. The adults are elected regional advisors from the Senior High and Junior High/Middle School levels. The final members of the council are WASC staff, who do not vote.

The CLC elects an SHS and JAM State President and Vice President and Advisors who serve as SHS and JAM Coordinators. These positions, along with the WASC staff, make up the Executive Committee, which meets in addition to the CLC meetings.

Collaborative Leadership Council Positions

The Wisconsin Association of School Councils is unique in structure, as it is run equally by students and advisors who are elected to terms at the annual State Conference. The duties and services of our elected officers and include: budget; publications; conferences/workshops; providing other services to the member schools.
