Dave has workshops and training specific for leaders, officers, executive boards, and members of student governments. He has developed these based on his experience as a student senator, committee chair, executive officer, state delegate, staff lobbyist for a state student government association, and his knowledge of organizational leadership to address current areas of concern on college campuses.
Schools love to have Dave work with their student government leaders and members. He has worked with hundreds of SGAs during his career as a professional speaker. Here is what one happy student government advisor wrote after Dave worked with her students:
“Thank you again for a dynamic and informational presentation last week at our SGA Training. It was exactly the blend of “nuts and bolts” and “servant leadership motivation” we were hoping for.
We look forward to working with you more in the future.” Rachel Lerner-Colucci, Dean of Student Life & Conduct, Bergen Community College (NJ)

You can invite all of your students to learn from Dave during his visit to your campus by adding some general leadership topics from his Student Leadership Workshop Series.
I offer to review the constitution, bylaws, and other documents of your student government, programming board, Greek councils, clubs and orgs, etc. You can have me do a review for you for $1,000 (no limits on the size of the document) and will provide you with a report on the items that I believe need updating. I am an expert in parliamentary procedure for student organizations and have, literally, reviewed hundreds of governing documents for various groups.
“Dave Kelly provided a comprehensive review of our Constitution and assisted us in updating our documents to better meet the wants and needs of our students and campus community. He is friendly, easygoing, and extremely passionate about student leadership and has offered us some great insight and reflection as we look ahead to what our campuses will look like post-pandemic. We look forward to working and consulting with him again in the future!” Michael Secreti, Assistant Director of Student Life, Northern Vermont University–Lyndon
