April 7-10, 2016 the National Association for Campus Activities (NACA) Northern Plains Regional Conference will be held in Madison, Wisconsin at Monona Terrace Community and Convention Center, One John Nolen Drive Madison, WI 53703. The conference is restricted to members and associate members of NACA.

Jillian Maas Backman and Jan Bilgen will be exhibitors (Booth 403) and feature a presentation titled, “Get the Edge: Leading with Facts and Intuition” which is designed to value both sides of the self, the intellect and the gut. Attendees will explore a new leadership style which combines the best of both and promises to give the edge, both on campus and in careers.

The presentation will tap into a leadership style that uses intellect, experience and intuition to better understand professional relationship building by integrating established methods and adding the element of intuition to create balance.
