Delegates at T&E 1, 2004 |
The term YMCA applies to a unit chartered by the YMCA of the USA and for the purposes of this policy includes other entities e.g., schools or other nonprofit organizations. Delegations from areas with no YMCA or which are not operated by YMCAs will have the same consideration as YMCAs. Each YMCA will be considered to have a single delegation unless this policy is met.
POLICY FOR YMCAS WHO DESIRE TO HAVE MULTIPLE DELEGATIONS
A YMCA may have more than one delegation under the following circumstances:
- Each delegation is to be a self-sufficient unit with its own lead advisor and other advisors as necessary based on the 1/11 or 1/9 advisor/delegate (or 1/7 for non-certified advisors) ratio (see Bulletin 1). Delegations may meet at the same facility but must meet at separate times and have separate budgets.
- Lead advisors must be a minimum of 21 years of age.
- Prior to the implementation of multiple delegations, a YMCA must provide a written rational basis for having multiple delegations to the President/CEO of Youth and Government. The CEO retains the right (without appeal) to not recognize multiple delegations from any YMCA.
- The decision to have multiple delegations must be made at the time of submitting the space reservation and deposit form(s).
- Delegations may nominate one candidate per office in each available category. Delegates may not move between delegations for the purposes of an election.
- Delegations will be treated as separate entities by the Youth and Government office in respect to housing at the Training and Elections Conferences and Sacramento, elections procedures, forms (i.e., concessionaire permit forms), deposits/fees (i.e. you may not move numbers around after commitment), with respect to any size reduction actions, etc.
- Each Delegation will submit the required number of bills.
