New Delegate Orientation — Recording

View the recording (from 2021*) here. This video is great as a refresher for long-time delegates, too. Topics include the following:

  • Your role as a delegate
  • Preparing for and participating in the HOD meeting
  • The policymaking process and basic parliamentary procedures

*Please note, since 2021, Virtual Reference Committee Hearings have been added. And, since A-25 option to amend “by substitution” has been eliminated. (Now just “amend.”)
