The MASC Spring Conference is held annually to provide students with both motivational and educational experiences. The three-day, two-night conference is held at the Resort and Conference Center at Hyannis and Radisson Hotel. These three days are full of events, motivational speeches, workshops, awards, and entertainment, and are a rewarding experience for any student leader. Attendees are trained in areas of leadership, allowed to network with students from across Massachusetts, and celebrated as student leaders for their achievements throughout the year.

The 34^th MASC Spring Conference will be held from Wednesday March 9^th to Friday March 11^th. The MASC Executive Board will work hard all year to make these three days as successful and exciting as possible.

Registration materials will be available in the 2010 - 2011 MASC Guidebook.  The Guidebook will be made available this fall.  If you have any questions, please contact us here.
