2009 National Conference Information

If you know of anyone traveling to nationals early and would like early $20 tickets for Elitch Gardens theme park, I am working on getting some so Hillsboro can go on the 27th, and I'll bet I can get more. I am sure the transaction will take place SOON, so let me know ASAP.

Advisors:

Dear Advisors,

I apologize for the delay in the response from state conference. I greatly appreciate all the help everyone provided to make a successful conference. I am highly disappointed to receive the bill from the conference center to find out that there was extra cleaning needed to the boys dorms and that there were items damaged in the recreation building that we were charged for as well. We need to either not offer that facility next year or have school sign up times to monitor it. Any suggestions here would be greatly appreciated. Also there needs to be some modifications to the checkout procedures for the sleeping facilities.

State Officer Applications are due the 15th!! Still need a few….don’t have regional representatives. Think about it; it is a great learning experience and great leadership opportunities await you!

National conference is just around the corner. We need to get organized here. I have advisors already asking how many are going, if certain students are going, if there are any schools interested in rooming together (one school already has let me know they need a room to house the one girl they are taking if possible to cut down on costs and one male sponsor spot?) There are several state qualifying events and these are needing to be finalized. If you student is one listed in the attachment and they are not planning on attending nationals…I need to know ASAP. Funding is an issue everywhere and schools want to know if they can offer the spot to their students and get financing figured out. I hate putting anyone on a timeline; however, I need to know by Thursday the 14th (THIS THURSDAY). Thank you for your help and I will look forward to hearing from you. Please do confirm that your students are going in the state qualifying events!
