THE OFFICIAL HOMEPAGE OF ΣΑΩ'S ANNUAL CONVENTION
Members
The Annual Meeting of
The Annual Meeting of
The Annual Meeting of Members may be attended by any member of Sigma Alpha Omega each year. However, only Delegates are permitted to address the Presiding Officer and vote on behalf of their chapters or associations. Delegates *MUST* be registered for convention to serve as a delegate and in physical attendance at the meeting (i.e. not virtual). Chapters who are unable to attend may request a vote by proxy from the Executive Director no later than May 25, 2024.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to stream the Annual Meeting of Members due to audio/visual constraints at the site and available national representatives to operate.
The National Trustee Application and Amendment Proposal is now downloadable in MySAO.org for sisters under: More... / Files / Shared by National Office / AMOM 2024 (direct link). The Delegate Packet will be published closer to the AMOM and will include reports and the meeting agenda. It will be housed in the same AMOM 2024 folder in MySAO.

Chapter and Alumnae Association Delegation Requirement
Each active chapter is required to send two (2) delegates to the Annual Meeting of Members (AMOM), which takes place the first Saturday of June during Convention. Each Delegate's Convention 2024 registration costs should be covered by the chapter's/association's own budget as providing delegates is a national requirement to maintain national chapter or association status.
