Area A is made up of 28 counties, from Alpine County to Yuba County. Our area members travel from Ceres to the Nevada border and to the East Bay all the way up to the Oregon border. Because we are such a large geographical area, we host two student conferences (Woodland & Modesto) and one Adviser conference.

Northern California Advisor Conference – Hosted by Area A
DATE: November 7, 2026
LOCATION: Douglass Middle
REGISTRATION START TIME: 8:30 AM
TIME: 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Throughout the day, attendees will have opportunities to gain practical resources, exchange ideas with fellow educators, and develop strategies that can be taken directly back to their schools. Our goal is simple: support the people who support student leaders.
Activities Directors and advisors are asked to manage an incredible number of responsibilities—from student government and events to school culture, finances, traditions, leadership development, and everything in between. You should not have to navigate that work alone. This conference provides an opportunity to connect with others who understand the position, learn from one another, and leave feeling energized and better equipped to serve students.
