Additional advisers, administrators, and parents/chaperones who will be attending the conference with your group will need to be added to the school record by the primary adviser. The primary adviser for your student program (NatStuCo, NHS, or NJHS) can do this online. He/She can visit their respective program website, NatStuCo.org, nhs.us, or njhs.us; Select create an account and you as the adviser can add additional adults; you must know their email address along with their full name. Select yes for additional advisers, or school administrators and select no when adding parents/chaperones. If they are already attached to your account, they do not need to be added.

Students cannot register themselves for LEAD. All registrations must be coordinated through the chapter or council’s adviser.
