This committee will hold its first meeting at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, October 30. One of the NEST program founders, Chris Potts, and a District Director will serve as advisors to this group. They will preside over the opening meeting and will ask the group to select the chair, who must be an appointed member of your committee.

Your chair will present the committee's report to the Convention at the Second Business Meeting on Friday afternoon. This committee is responsible for informing the Convention of all background information it needs to act upon your report and recommendations.

The NEST competition winner will be awarded at the Chapter Awards Banquet on Saturday evening. Be prepared to present that award.
