Atlanta Public Schools Student Government Association Symposium
This SGA Symposium will assist our student leaders in developing a strategic plan to communicate with their student body and administrators, enhance marketing, and conduct surveys. It will also assist with ensuring all SGAs have a written constitution, learn how to recruit new members, determine goals, and provide training.
Produced in collaboration with the American Student Government Association, the national professional organization serving and supporting Student Governments.
