The program allows a YEA member to attend a Winter or Annual Meeting largely at the expense of the region and gain experience at a Society level by shadowing the DRC of Region XI. This program is great for first time attendees or those that would like to get a closer look at the leadership side of the conference. One member from the region will be selected from the applicants by the DRC, YRC and Membership Chairman,
The Region will subsidize the Candidate’s expenses up to $1,000 including travel, transportation, accommodations, Meeting registration, Welcome party, President’s luncheon, Member’s night out, parking and Regional Dinner. In addition, the Society will directly cover airfare.
The following is a sample schedule for the candidate for the Annual Meeting; actual schedule may vary slightly.
