Live Links to Leadership Applications!

Here are the live links and some important details for upcoming leadership applications. Feel free to email Christiana with any questions. HOWEVER, if you ask a question that would be answered by carefully reading the application, you will not get an answer. Make sure you READ CAREFULLY the entire application!

Permanent Page Form (keep checking back, this one not yet updated)

Governor's Lobbyist Application Form: Due December 4 - Advisor Signature Required! For seniors who were Lobbyists last year.

Governor's Cabinet Application Form: Due December 4 - Advisor Signature Required! Prior Y&G OR proven leadership skills required (hint: that means prior Y&G experience not required if you have an already impressive resume - which I'm sure many of you do).

National Issues Chair Application: Due December 4 - Advisor Signature Required! Note: our delegation can only have one Commission Chair nominee for every 30 delegates - that means our delegation can only have one Commission Chair nominee. If you are interested in applying for this position, you must submit your application to Christiana on or before Bill Hearing Night.

NIC Adversary General Nomination: Due January 8, 2010 - Advisor Signature Required! NIC AG is responsible for either coordinating or delivering the first Con speech for every proposal in the NIC General Assembly. NIC AG will research and prepare or delegate responsibility for reseaching and preparing the Con statements. Also responsible for coordinating four District Adversaries. No prior NIC experience required.

Broadcast Media Application: Due December 4 - Advisor Signature Required! Applicants must also register in another program area because over 100 delegates apply for about 28 spots (this doesn't mean you shouldn't try, however!). Applicants will interview at Bob II. Applicants will not be considered for Broadcast Media if they also apply for another leadership role selected at Bob II. Note: parental signature also required for this application.

Jury Trial Application (note you cannot apply for both Jury Trial Attorney and Supreme Court/Judicial Review - you have to pick one!) Due December 4 - Advisor Signature Required!

Supreme Court/Judicial Review Application: Due December 4 - Advisor Signature Required!

Chief Page Application: Due December 4 - Advisor Signature Required! The ML/C Chief Page will work with the Page Program staff and implement the duties of their office. The Chief Page will create opportunities for fellow delegates to see and participate in every facet of the Youth and Government Program. The Chief Page will plan, organize, assign, manage and appraise their fellow Pages throughout the Y&G Conferences. Prior Y&G experience not necessary.

T&E II Press Corps Application: due at noon at Bob II - to be hand-delivered by you. Advisor Signature Required. Some positions require that you be a senior, some require past Y&G experience, some require past publications/journalism experience - check the description by each position. Lastly - my guess is they have swapped the application requirements for artist and photographer - I would assume photographers must have samples of photos, not drawings. If anyone is interested in those positions, we'll find out.

Most of these forms will open as a Microsoft Word download (Press Corps opens as a pdf). If you cannot open a document, let me know, and I will email one to you in pdf form. You can always download a free Adobe Acrobat pdf reader here. Some also ask for letters of recommendation. If you want an advisor letter of recommendation for an application due December 4, you must request one by November 30 (that's the Monday before the Friday on which applications are due).

Most of these forms require an advisor's signature or other advisor information. Most of them are also due by December 4. This means if you need an advisor signature, you must bring your COMPLETED APPLICATION to Bill Hearing Night on December 3. We can send in your application for you as well.
