All,
I'm thinking about attending convention in three weeks. My reasons are several but most important is that I want to become more involved in USMS and I figure the best way to find out how/what/when/where is to attend convention.
Does this make sense? Would it be worthwhile?
Paul
I understand the vacation issue, but as for cost -- doesn't your LMSC pay for it's delegates travel and hotel fees?
Our LMSC pays the way for the voiting delegates, which I think is a function of how many registered members are in your LMSC. So out of about 8 LMSC officers, 2 or 3 take a turn each year.
I fully agree voting delegates should have their way paid - as long as they provide a written report including recommended actionable steps, and present their report at the next LMSC meeting, and understand they are expected to have a significant role in following through on recommendations.
Paul - you will find there are many areas to volunteer in your LMSC, and different levels of involvement. Even with kids and a demanding full time job, you can make a modest commitment - but be making a huge contribution.
