Semi-Annual Capital Conference Meeting

18 April 2021 at 2PM

Worthy Grand Knight,

It is time for our spring semi-annual meeting. The date is April 18^th.  This meeting will be held via Zoom due to ongoing Covid 19 restrictions.  It will start at 2:00 pm.

Each council has 2 delegates and 2 votes at this meeting which is very important to you the Grand Knight and your council.

One of the very important agenda items is the appointment of the nominating committee for the purpose of nominating people for the positions on the executive board for this coming year.

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.

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 especially because it is Zoom.

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

Check our new and improved Capital District Conference website at www.capitalkofc.org for all the latest information.

I am looking forward to seeing you on the 18^th of April.

Fraternally Yours

Jim Mihalko
