CONVENTION INFORMATION
CONVENTION OVERVIEW
- Installing the National Council

- Providing education for active and alumni members

- Honoring chapters and members
- Inducting the 2018 & 2019 classes of the Wall of Fame
One of the more important decisions a chapter makes is the selection of its delegate(s) to the National Convention, because all formal action taken at the National Convention is the result of democratic voting, and it is typical for chapter delegates to constitute 65 to 75 percent of the total vote. Those with voting privileges at the National Convention include:
- Active chapter delegates (2 per chapter)
- Active chapter alumni delegate
- Alumni association delegate
- Members of the National Council

I HAVE BEEN SELECTED AS ONE OF MY CHAPTER'S VOTING DELEGATES. HOW DO I REGISTER?
While costs for Convention registration and hotel accommodations have been pre-billed for active organizations, a $30 late will is assessed for registrations after June 1.
While a hotel room is built into the National Meeting Assessment fee, after June 20th the hotel block has closed. If you are voting delegate and have registered after June 20, please email Rhonda Halcomb at rhonda@triangle.org or call (317) 837-9640 so she may work to make hotel arrangements.
*During the registration process you have the option to add a spouse/guest, select a single room, and various other add-on’s. These items are NOT included in the pre-billed cost. In order to complete registration, you must purchase these options upon registration check-out.
HOW MANY REGISTRATION SPOTS HAS MY CHAPTER BEEN PRE-BILLED FOR?
I AM A VOTING DELEGATE BUT WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND MY STAY AT THE HOTEL OUTSIDE THE PRE-BILLED DATES. CAN I DO SO? HOW?
If you choose to extend your stay register for Convention, then book your hotel for ONLY the extended dates. After booking please notify Rhonda Halcomb at (317) 837-9640 or email rhonda@triangle.org with your hotel confirmation information so we may tie your extended booking and the pre-booked Convention hotel room together. Failure to do so may result in individuals having to check out and check in multiple times during a single stay.
