Delegate Protocol - Managing the Delegation at Congress

Each delegate is required to spend a minimum of one hour "manning" the eChapter table. Study your schedule and choose a time that does not conflict with something you don't want to miss.

Board members will assist the Delegate Chair in managing the delegate process. Each delegate will be assigned to a Board member who will serve as a point of contact and a mentor to those who are new to the delegate process.

eChapter encourages the delegation to sit together at the front of the auditorium to the left of the stage at the required events held in the main auditorium. There is usually a large screen that makes "seeing all the action" easy from this vantage point.

Sitting with the delegation is not mandatory, but it is essential that you check in with your assigned Board member to document your presence at the required event.

The delegate stipend is predicated upon fulfilling all of the delegate requirements.
