Welcome back! We hope you had a great and safe winter break and are ready to get back into the Y&G swing of things. Our next conference is THIS SUNDAY, January 10. If you're an Advocate or a Legislator, you have assignments due this week. During our meeting, we'll review the conference schedule and what each program area will be doing, and we'll give Firms a chance to meet to discuss their Legislative Fact Sheet pitches.
Schedule Notes:
- Meetings return this week! (Mandatory Pre-Conference Meeting)
- Conference 3 is Sunday, January 10! (Plan for it when it comes to schoolwork and finals!) The tentative schedule overview is attached. A detailed schedule with zoom links will be emailed to you on Thursday. Watch for it!
Post-Conference 2/Pre-Conference 3 Tasks:
You read this document, right?- It summarizes important info from the last conference and lists the tasks to accomplish before the conference.
- Legislators: Here is your group district profile doc(see email for link). Email me when you've finished it and we'll get it submitted. You're almost done. Use groupme or convene a group call on Slack to wrap it up!
- Advocates: Remember, your 2 fact sheets are due by Jan 6. Only the Firm Principal needs to join the Firm Principal Google Classroom and submit your fact sheets.
Court Leadership Interviews: Delegates who applied for Court leadership have been notified of their Saturday, January 9 interview time. Interview times can also be reviewed on thepublic roster, “Court interviews” view.

Get Social: Are you on Instagram? Follow our delegation - @sacyandg - and the NorCal Y&G account - @norcalyg for all the latest on conferences and program stuff. (Follow our sister delegations, too: @eldoyandg and @goldcountrymlc) No need to join if you're not on Instagram, of course.
Conference Attendance Reminder: We expect all delegates to attend all of each of our conferences. If you cannot attend all or part of a conference, you need to let Trisha and me know in advance. Remember: one of the many skills Y&G hopes you'll learn is time management. You know when our meetings and conferences are, and you know when you have finals or other events. Plan accordingly. Conflicts happen. But you have to let us know if you can't make it. That's one way we live our Y value of responsibility (for the things we need to accomplish or attend) and respect (for the time others spend working on conference plans and those who depend on your attendance to complete their tasks).
