Please list the goals that you would like to accomplish as a Regional Convention Co- Chair:

For many USYers , Regional Convention can be overwhelming by the sheer volume of people. What activity could you plan to ease the nerves of USYers. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

This year educationally, Regional Convention will focus on Friendship. We want to clearly unite the creative and educational themes. Knowing the educational theme, what “fun” theme ideas do you have? (For example, last year’s “fun” theme for Regional Convention was That 70s Convention). Be as creative as possible!

The way our region is set up geographically we do not have the opportunity to get to know people from different sub regions. How would you accomplish that and create a “full” regional experience? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Please give us a brief example of a time when you had an issue that you had when either planning, setting up, or leading a program within your chapter, sub-region, or region and how you overcame that issue (now matter how big or small)

The Regional Board will have a hand in programming in regards to projects they are completing for the year… If your ideas are not meshing… what steps will you take to resolve the dilemma? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tell us a story, movie quote, fear, etc. that you think would put a smile on the faces of the regional board and give us a good laugh
