STATE CONVENTION

Each spring, the AZJCL holds a one/two day convention for all of its members. The convention is held at a school that is able to host the event. The date of the AZ State Convention is set by the Executive Board. The convention begins on Friday afternoon with registration. In the evening, special activities such as a skit competition, dance, and officers' and candidates' workshops are held. On Saturday, delegates participate in academic, athletic, oratorical, and dramatic interpretation, graphic arts contests, and workshops. In addition, the semi-finals and finals of Certamen are held as are the chariot race and Olympika. The concluding activity of the convention is a General Assembly at which new AZJCL officers are elected. The schedule may vary depending on the facilities and the availability of volunteers. The AZ State Convention is the single most important event sponsored by AZJCL, and all chapters are urged to send delegates. Few other organizations give students the opportunity to meet together with hundreds of other students sharing a common interest, and the ties formed at the AZ State Convention can last a lifetime.  This year's state convention will happen Saturday, March 4 at Gilbert Classical Academy.
