On the day of the call, teleconference information will be sent to those who have pre-registered. Youth Arrowmen who wish to run for section office must submit a letter of affirmation from their Scout Executive by 11:59 p.m. on April 16th. These letters can be sent to Section Adviser Brett Warner at brett@brettwarner.com. During the teleconference, candidates will have an opportunity to make a two-minute speech, and questions for the candidates may be submitted via the pre-registration form as well as in the chat feature during the call. Following the speeches and the question forum, voting will take place via a form sent out during the call based upon information indicated in the pre-registration form.
