Corpus Christi Convention Committee

By Boyd Burris, State Warden

Vol. 4, 2016-2017

Boyd Burris

The Corpus Christi Convention Committee has been working hard for over a year preparing for our State convention April 29 through May 1.This is a very important convention where we will elect new State Officers and some resolutions that will be sent forward to the Supreme Convention in Nashville. Every Council is allowed two delegates to attend the convention and vote.

In order for a council to participate in the convention, as well as all State events, the council must be in good standing. That means that the council must be current with both Supreme and State financial obligations, per capita. The amounts that are billed to all councils is based on the council roster as of July 1, with adjustments for life and honorary life members, inactive insurance members, and disabled. A council cannot adjust the numbers because members weren’t dropped before July 1.

Supreme has reinstated the Supreme Per Capita. Councils will not be receiving a statement in the mail. Instead the financial Secretary will go to Officers on line/Membership Report/Council billing statement. For previous month statements - In Officers Online, go to "Council Billing Statement" and if you click on "Past" this should bring up all the previous statements listed for your council that are available. The Supreme Per Capita must be paid with a check or money order.
