1). Did
you get your last payment in?: Payment
deadline was Oct 13th for $375. Please bring your checks to this week's meeting or pay online here.
2). Bill
Hearing Night: Bill hearing night is in two weeks! This year's bill hearing night will be Nov. 2nd starting at 6pm in B3.
We will be splitting up the delegation into two groups, one group will
go from 6-7:30 and the second group will go from 7:30-9pm. The event is mandatory
for all delegates and your parents won't want to miss this chance to see what delegates have been working on so far this year. Stay
tuned for more information on this later this month.
3). Bill
Work - Next 2 weeks critical!: Each family needs to have its draft bill language and bill worksheet completed by this Thursday. When you are done,
please make sure all information is upload/saved to your family's bill folder on the google drive.
For those who want to dive deep into bill details, you can check out this Common
Bill Mistake and How to Avoid Them document.
Bill
work is tricky - but there are LOTS of resources available - including
returning delegates/former bill sponsors and your advisors! You can do
this -
we promise.
4).
Are You Getting Your Points?: As
we get closer to selecting our roles, we want to make sure that all
delegates are aware of the points system and where you can go to look at
your points.
The points system is a
way for delegates who participate in events, attend meetings, get their
payments/paperwork in on time, etc to be rewarded with a better chance
at selecting their program area. Each year,
our delegation has more delegates than slots for many program areas.
Because of this shortage of spots, our delegation created the points
system to incentive delegates to participate. The more you participate,
the points you have and the better shot you have at getting the program area you want.
Here is a link to the
points, you can view how many points you have and where you rank in the
delegation. Please let me know if you there are any point corrections.
5). Dietary Restrictions? If
you have not already indicated on the form when you registered for the
conference your dietary restrictions (Vegan/Vegetarian/Gluten-Free/Etc)
please make sure you let me know ASAP. The conference now will now have
vegan options.
6).
Fresno Conference Room Assignments:

females. Please be thinking of who you want in your room before the
