Conferences
Each year, the association holds three annual conferences to give professional development to student trustees, allow for networking opportunities between students and prominent individuals in education and to provide a forum to form the student vision. The conferences occur surrounding the organisation's general meetings, starting with the introductory Fall General Meeting, the Board Council Conferences in February and the transitional Annual General Meeting in the spring.
OSTA-AECO is committed to the safety and wellbeing of all conference attendees. As a result, all student trustee attendees are required to sign and return a Code of Conduct during registration. Failure to comply to the items listed in the agreement will result in the immediate contact of the student trustee's Director of Education and/or parent or guardian.
All of OSTA-AECO's conferences are supervised by adults from the association's Alumni Board of Directors, who serve in accordance with strict supervision procedures.
These measures ensure that all school boards may send their student trustees to OSTA-AECO's conferences in confidence, knowing that their safety is of utmost importance.
