These tips were sent to the Club Chairmans, but wanted to share so you know how things work!

Tips on Being Successful For Convention 2010
30 Days before Convention:

Club President or Secretary Should Mail The Following To Credentials Chair:

• Updated Roster
• Check For Dues ($2 Per Member)
• Copy Of Club Constitution

Mail MUST Be Postmarked By the 30th Day Before Convention (Which Is July 6th)

Failure to Send Credentials In On Time Will Cost Club half (1/2) of Delegate Strength!!!!

Delegate Strength is One (1) Delegate and One (1) Alternate per 10 Members at the time of Submission (If you credential with less than 10 members, you are still allotted One (1) Delegate and One (1) Alternate)

You May Email Roster and Constitution to Credentials Chair as a back up, but Everything Must Be Sent By USPS Postmarked No Later Than July 6th

Note to New Clubs Federated After Jan.1 2010: You Will Only Have To Submit a Check For State Dues IF You Have Added Additional Members Since You Were Federated, But You Will Need To Re-Submit Roster and Constitution!
