NASE History
NASE Founded
The idea for a National Council (original name) was formulated at the California Self-Esteem Conference in San Jose, February 1986, during a discussion including Don Thomas, former superintendent of Salt Lake City Schools, Jack Canfield and Robert Reasoner. The Charter meeting was held at Antler, North Dakota in August with 18 members attending. Connie Dembrowsky was elected as the first President along with an Executive Board consisting of Charollene Coares, John Dewell, R. Smith Kiliper, Joan Lkankowitz, Robert Reasoner, and Don Thomas.
NASE Conferences
The first National NCSE Conference was held in St. Louis, MO in 1987, with subsequent conferences in San Jose, CA; Las Vegas, NV; Baltimore, MD; Show Low, AZ; Albuquerque, NM; Orlando, FL; San Francisco, CA; Cincinnatti, OH; Richmond, VA; and Honolulu, HI.

NASE Now
Since our formation in 1986, we have been known as the National Council for Self-Esteem. Due to the growth of our membership and chapters throughout the country, we changed our name in August of 1995 to the National Association for Self-Esteem. Our Board members are speakers, writers, business people, educators and trainers who are committed to the development of personal worth, responsibility and integrity in families, schools and the workplace.
