Program Area Preferences Form Due Saturday: It's time to rank your preferences for the programs you'd like to serve in this year. Here's a pdf explaining each program area. Make sure to rank your preferences using this form by this Saturday, Nov 6 at 5pm. If you have questions about program areas: ASK!  We'll be assigning roles this weekend so speak now or forever hold your peace!

Conference is Coming!: Reminder: our first statewide virtual conference will take place on Saturday, November 13 from 10a-3pm. 

• We'll hear a keynote address from California State Attorney General Rob Bonta. Click here to learn about the Attorney General and the California Department of Justice. The AG has agreed to some Q&A - you can submit a question here.  
• Here's the Conference Schedule.

Statewide Leadership Apps Due November 16: If you want to apply for or run for a statewide leadership position (like Governor, Secretary of State, Chief Justice, or for a position within a program), applications are due Tuesday, November 16. NOTE: that's 3 days before the statewide deadline, BUT you need your app in early so we can have delegation-level run-offs as there are limits to how many applicants or candidates can come from each delegation. If your statewide application is not on file by November 17 at 11:59pm you won't be able to apply/run! For info about leadership positions, visit the Leadership Tab on the Curriculum Airtable or this doc. 

Delegate-Led Caucus Apps due today, Friday Nov 5: Delegate-Led Caucuses are entirely delegate-created and run communities of interest within Y&G. This year, they will meet virtually statewide, likely between conferences. Applications to join Caucus leadership teams are open and due by 11:59pm tonight, November 5. Info on joining caucuses and meetings will be provided during the conference. 

Bring an Ingredient to the Nov 10 Meeting (Optional): On Nov 10, we'll do a snack-building parliamentary procedure activity. While covid means no in-person snacking, we'll make to-go bags of our delegation trail mix. Bring your favorite trail mix ingredient (or a curve ball one) and see if it makes the cut. If you bring a trail mix ingredient it must be new in a sealed package. The Advisors will have a mixing bowl, to-go bags, and some ingredients to offer as well.

CIM Volunteer Registration Is Now Open: One of our favorite delegation traditions is back - on Sunday, December 5 at a way-too-early-hour, we'll meet to staff a runner aid station along the California International Marathon Route. Click here to confirm you'll be there! If you have friends and family who would like to attend, share this link with them: bit.ly/capcocim2021
