All seven Tennessee CTSOs will come together for three, one-day regional leadership conferences this fall. You are highly encouraged to attend the conference that is closest to your school. The conference registration fee is $30 per attendee and will include leadership training, a CTSO conference promotional item, and lunch. Conference registration for each location will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Each venue capacity varies for each FLC location, so please register and submit your payments early.

ZACH BUCHANAN - Featured Keynote Speaker

Picture
​A car salesman, teacher, and motivational speaker walk into a room. This may sound like the start to a bad joke, but it’s actually the start of Zach Buchanan’s story. He is a native Tennessean and lives in Knoxville with his wife, Julie.  Zach loves combining his experience as a student member in TSA, SkillsUSA, and DECA to help students find their passions and interests. Having visited 45 of the 50 states, he knows that “Rocky Top” will always be “home sweet home” to him. He is excited to spread his passion and enthusiasm to help students realize their passions.
