69th Annual Laurels for Leaders 

Leadership Conference & Awards Ceremony

Wednesday, March 11, 2026 | Four Points by Sheraton

Laurels for Leaders is proud to host the 69th Annual Leadership Conference & Awards Ceremony, a full day dedicated to celebrating and inspiring San Diego County’s Associated Student Body (ASB) Presidents.

Building on last year’s refreshed student-centered format, this year’s program continues to blend recognition with leadership development. The morning Leadership Workshop is reserved exclusively for ASB Presidents, who will enjoy breakfast together before participating in interactive sessions designed to help them learn, grow, and connect with one another. Beginning at 12:30 p.m., all are welcome to attend the Awards Ceremony, where every ASB President is honored during the Honor Roll Call and receives a cash award.

Members of the Laurels Society are invited to join the pre-ceremony luncheon with the students, a unique chance to sit side by side with ASB Presidents, share a meal, and encourage them directly.

This tradition is only possible thanks to the generous support of our donors and sponsors. By joining the Laurels Society, you directly invest in local ASB Presidents and ensure they receive the recognition, tools, and inspiration they deserve.
