Serving as an Officer

Our Connecticut High School Youth Assembly is led by two types of student officers: 

• Presiding Officers who are elected at the end of each assembly to serve a full year-long term leading our program and preside over the next year’s assembly.
• Supporting Officers who apply during the school year and are selected in the months prior to the assembly to serve in supporting leadership roles.

Each officer role offers a unique opportunity to develop and strengthen your skills as a servant leader and help provide an incredibly assembly experience for your peers.

Presiding Officers

Each year, the assembly concludes with the election our team of presiding officers, who serve a year-long term leading our program and preside over the next year’s assembly.
