• VOTING DELEGATES

Each chapter is represented at the Delegate Assembly through its voting delegation. Delegates conduct the business of the state organization and are chosen by their local chapter. The number of delegates representing each chapter is determined by the chapter's active membership at the end of last year. A roster from last year is enclosed.

The chapter advisor is responsible for notifying delegates of their assignments, duties and responsibilities. Delegates will be seated in a section reserved for this group. Chapter identification signs will be furnished at the conference for each school attending. It is extremely important that the delegates be seated on time so as not to miss roll call (thus jeopardizing chapter representation), delay the meeting or disturb a meeting in session.

Instructions for voting delegates are included in the enclosed materials. Eligible number of voting delegates is determined by using the following formula:

• 5 to 19 student members .........................3 voting delegate
• 20 to 29 student members .........................4 voting delegates
• 30 to 39 student members .........................5 voting delegates
• 40 to 49 student members .........................6 voting delegates

* One additional delegate may be added for each ten-student member above 49.

• ALTERNATE VOTING DELEGATES

Your observers will be registered as alternate voting delegates.  Alternate delegates are expected to attend all sessions.  Please refer to the delegate instruction sheet for responsibilities of alternates.

• ADVISOR'S RESPONSIBILITY

Advisors are responsible for the appearance, conduct and supervision of their chapter members while attending the conference. In addition, chapter advisors are responsible for the hotel rooms assigned to their chapters. Damage to rooms or other facilities, which require repair, will be billed to your chapter. Be careful who is permitted to occupy your assigned rooms other than students.
