General Assembly Iv & V

During General Assembly IV, the results of

the election are announced and those elected

take the stage. If elected, be ready for pictures

after General Assembly IV with the current officers.

At General Assembly V, the newly elected officers will

be sworn in. Be sure to bring a nice toga or tunica for this

assembly. The newly elected and sworn in President will

have to give an inauguration speech and introduce the

theme of next year’s convention at General

Assembly V as well.

General Assembly III

The majority of this general assembly

is devoted to candidate speeches. You will

have the chance to share your platform, ideas, and

experience to all. You may have a friend introduce

you, but make sure that both the introduction and your

speeches do not exceed three minutes. Remember to

breathe and relax. You have got this!

afterward where voting will take place.
