Sarah Konrad, design head and junior, takes part in a conversation after school with her friends. Konrad said that right now, the TEDx club is focused on increasing its membership.
According to Sarah Konrad, design head and junior, the club’s leadership team is currently focused on getting more people to join TEDx.
Konrad said, “We want to increase membership because we’ve seen our numbers go down as so many former members graduated (last spring). And we want to ensure that the club will exist beyond our high school careers.”
Agreeing with Konrad, TEDx co-sponsor Allen Wheeler said, “I definitely feel like there would be a lot of students who would like to be involved in something like this, especially something that is so student-centric with so much student leadership.”
Konrad said the TEDx’s next meeting will be on Nov. 4 after school in Room E235, and she said she encourages anyone interested in the club to attend the meeting.
