Section delegates´ conferences

The Constitution of the Institute provides that each Section may be represented at the Annual Convention by “an official delegate” (usually the Chairman of the Section). The by-laws provide that the duties of these delegates shall be “to attend such meetings of the Sections Committee as may be held during the Convention, to exchange views and experiences in connection with Section activities and management, and to make recommendations of an advisory nature upon such matters to the Board of Directors.” Delegates´ deliberations at the Annual Convention therefore take the form of Sections Committee meetings.
