Conference Preparation
|
There is no one correct way to prepare for National Model Congress. Delegates must research the issues that affect your districts and that affect the nation. It's important to research the elected official you'll be representing. Know their viewpoints, where they stand on current issues and legislation and be prepared to debate. We believe that you should act as a trustee of your constituents and remind yourself throughout your preparation and at the conference that: "You've been elected by the people because you were the best option to represent them because of what you believe."
