It is my first time attending State Assembly. Where do I go first?
After you have checked into your room and and are settled, if Registration is still open, go Register; if not, you can register the first thing the following morning. At that time you will receive your badge and Program (which has all of the meetings, room locations, and times). Then, before you leave the registration area pick up your meal tickets. Now, you are officially at State Assembly!
The next step should be to locate other members from your chapter and get with them. You can plan meeting at designated places before business sessions, luncheons or banquets. However, if you miss catching them before these events don’t let that stop you from attending. This is a great way to make new friends! Of course, a room full of strangers is always a little intimidating, but here is the solution: Just walk up to a table that is not full and ask, “Is anyone sitting here?” and you will always receive a gracious offer to sit down and join in at any table.
Registration Form- Am I a delegate?
The State Assembly Registration form has options for Delegate/Alternate but our chapter has not met yet to determine that. What should I do?
The voting members at the State Assembly or any special meeting of the TSSDAC shall be, by right of office, the State Officers, the Honorary State Regents, the National Officers and Honorary National Officers who are members of the TSSDAC, the Chapter Officers, and the delegates from the chapters. Each chapter shall be entitled to one additional delegate for every ten (10) members, or fraction thereof, in good standing. No voting member or delegate shall be entitled to more than one vote at the State Assembly.
Your Chapter Regent will be turning in her Credentials form prior to the State Assembly. The Credentials will list the Delegates/Alternates. If you are one, make sure your name is on that form and the State Assembly Credentials & Registration committees will handle it from there.
