• Competitions at Leadership Conferences - Two Levels

    TSA State Leadership Conference, Montgomery, Alabama - Usually 2nd week in April (Tuesday, Wednesday)

    Students who wish to prepare for TSA events have the opportunity to participate in local class projects and will have the option to compete their chosen event/projects at the state leadership conference.  The LMS State attendance conference total cost is TBD based on how many commit to attending in November and covers the cost of the advisor chaperones for one overnight. Cost is per individual student and includes annual dues ($30 paid by Sept. 30), registration fee (approx. $75), lodging ($210 split 3 or 4 per same sex room), and 2 lunches, 1 dinner and 1 breakfast ($65). Registration includes a conference Tshirt, a pin, a certificate and any awards won. To be determined is the cost per student for roundtrip chartered bus transportation (TBD). If more than 10 LMS students attend, we will be able to lower the overall cost of the trip.
     
    TSA Conference Attire is the official TSA blue dress shirt and gray pants for boys, gray skirt/pants for girls, dark dress shoes, dark socks. For full details, see the TSA dress code website. An exception is that the State conference will allow white dress shirts (but then if you win and want to go to Nationals, you will need the official shirt or they will deduct points off your score.)
     
     
    Explore TSA websites (national and state) and refer any questions to a TSA advisor in Purple Pod, 112, in person or via email.
     
    Technology Student Association Fee Payment Site: for payment of annual dues ($30), initial trip deposit (NR $100), partial payments for trip, full payment, and donations
     
     

    TSA National Leadership Conference, Gaylord National, Washington, D.C., June 22 - June 26, 2026

     
    Students who would like to attend Nationals (and participate in a non-State Advisor-approved event(s)) and those who place at State in April in a State Advisor approved event(s) will have the option to compete in the national leadership event in June. It would be a family-led trip for individual students with their families. Registration is usually $75, other costs include transportation, meals, and they require lodging for a minimum of two nights for parents and student who choose to stay at the national conference or will charge a $200 fee if you do not. (It may be possible to go to the conference for just the day of the student's event but it is advised to save the last day of the conference's date if you feel confident your student may place because you may want to attend the awards ceremony on the last day. That can be decided up until two days before and then parent/adults/family can pay to attend just that one day to attend the awards ceremony.) A TSA Advisor will assist in coordination with TSA National for families to register, but will not be chaperoning this conference. They will serve as liaisons there. Individual families will determine their travel arrangements and chaperone their student at the national conference.
