Additional Recommendations:
If a club does not have a President Elect or if the designated President Elect is unable to attend, it is highly recommended to send another member. By doing so, the club can still benefit from the valuable training and networking opportunities available at the seminar. If an alternate attendee is sent, they should be registered as a President Elect to ensure they receive the club-prepaid registration benefits.
