FAQ
Why are there two separate registrations?
Step 1 establishes voting eligibility at the Post level. Step 2 issues official delegate credentials at the individual level.
What happens if Step 2 is completed before Step 1?
The registration will be cancelled. Step 1 must be received and approved first.
What if someone completes Step 2 but was not elected?
The registration will be rejected. Delegates must be elected and listed in Step 1.
How do delegates receive the Step 2 link?
After Step 1 is completed and the delegate list is approved, the Department will email each elected delegate the credential registration link.
Do I need to book the hotel separately?
Yes. Hotel reservations are separate from delegate registration, banquet reservations, and any convention attendance fees.

Sponsorship Opportunities
Sponsorship opportunities for the 106th Annual Convention are now open, and interest is moving faster than in past years.
If your business or organization is considering sponsorship, early commitment is strongly encouraged. Several options are already drawing strong interest, and availability is limited in order to preserve meaningful visibility for participating sponsors.
Banquet Table Sponsorships are going quickly, and the optional Website Sponsorship add-on has very few spots remaining.
Sponsorship options include event recognition, banquet visibility, vendor opportunities, and more.
To request sponsorship information or discuss availability, contact:
