Welcome to CASA's 2017 Policy and Strategy Conference! Now that CASA's 2017-2018 delegates are familiar with the organization and the role the federal government plays in post-secondary education, it's time to get to work.

Who?

Anyone who currently works for a student association at a Canadian post-secondary school is welcome to attend. This includes delegates from our member associations as well as those who are not members but are curious about CASA (we call you observers).

Observers are welcome to attend all conference sessions, including plenary. However, if an in-camera session is called during plenary, all observers will be asked to step out temporarily, along with CASA staff. This conference will provide an excellent opportunity for you to meet CASA delegates and staff, familiarize yourself with the organization, and see how CASA sets priorities and work plans for the year. Note that this a work intensive conference.

What?

During CASA's Policy and Strategy Conference (#PolStratCon), CASA's members come together and work to identify their policy and advocacy priorities for the year, finalize their committee work plans, and more. View the tentative conference schedule.
