Worthy Grand Knight,

Each council has 2 delegates and 2 votes at this meeting which is very important to you the Grand Knight and your council. This is where you as a delegate get to exercise your right to vote for the people that you think will do the best job for the conference.It is also the time and place where you get to find out what is going on within the conference and learn more about how the conference can help you with any issues your council may have.You will also learn what the conference is doing to help you and your council to achieve the goals the state and supreme have put forth. You will also hear about the programs our participation and progress.Due to COVID-19 protocalls, the meeting will be hybrid with both live participation at the Waterford Council Hall and via ZOOM. The ZOOM invitation will be sent out one week before the meeting. If possible, try to attend the meeting in person. Please make sure your contact information with the Conference Committee is current.

It is one of your responsibilities as a Grand Knight to attend the semi-annual meetings and encourage your Deputy to do the same along with anyone else that would like to participate.

Friendly reminder that 2021 Capital Conference dues must be paid to vote.

I am looking forward to seeing you on the 17 October 2021.
