“Area delegates have been elected to participate as trusted servants and to provide important
leadership in the Fellowship. Indeed, the areas look to their delegates to lead them on tackling current
issues while helping the Fellowship to prepare for the future.

Considering the role that delegates play in the Conference, it should come as no surprise that much
will be asked of them in time and effort. Delegates are charged with understanding the experiences,
viewpoints and group conscience of their areas, while assuming responsibility for the U.S./Canada
Conference as a whole. This is why the experience of being a delegate is like no other.”
