To add to that, today was the first day of meetings. Long, looooong meetings. But we got a lot done, and it's really great to perform opening ceremony with all 600 convention attendees.
To quickly sum up what we voted on/approved:
-the 2010/2012 National Council Slate (composed of a National President and 5 National Vice President) was passed. it's the same women as the 2008/2010 term, who are eligible to hold their position for 2 consecutive terms.
-a new ritual was adopted as an option for initiating alumni members into AXO.
-tomorrow we will finish up discussing whether or not the National Council Slate should be voted on prior to convention (via online slate) or in person at convention like it is now.
*What are your guys' thoughts about that? We had a brief debate today about the pros and cons of an online vs. in person election... Think about it.
Quick pros: easy access for those who cannot attend convention for various reasons; accessibility for the rest of the chapter members who do not attend convention; simplicity.
Quick cons: don't get to hear the officer's speech in person; no face-to-face communication; it's easy to forget to vote.
We're both pretty exhausted again so we're gonna get to bed. Tomorrow starts off with another meeting and then later on we are taking a bus tour of the DC monuments!
