Sisterhood National Convention FAQs for Delegates

Q: Do I register for just a few events?

A: Delegates should register and submit payment for Thursday, Friday and Saturday events.

Q: Will my travel costs to convention be reimbursed?

A: Delegates will receive up to $350 reimbursement for travel costs. Please bring receipts to submit.

Q: How will I be reimbursed or compensated as a delegate?

A: As a delegate you will submit paperwork requesting a daily per diem for three days. Delegates will vote on the amount of reimbursement at the beginning of convention.

Q: The Board has reserved a block of room for convention. Must we book within that block or is outside of the block allowed?

A: By booking within the Danish Sisterhood block, you are helping to ensure we reach our room minimum required to maintain free meeting rooms. This allows us to keep our costs down.

Q: Do delegates need to write short bios for either the program or the newsletter?

A; No, delegates needed only to submit a photo for the program.

Q: Is there a dress code?

A: Comfortable, business casual is appropriate for our meetings. As the temperatures in meeting rooms can vary, it is advisable to bring a sweater or shawl. Evening events call for a bit of celebration but are not formal (or even semi-formal)

Q: Do I have to attend all events on the schedule?

A: Convention provides an opportunity for delegates to contribute to the future of the organization during meetings, attending the workshops, and participating in the social events and tour. You will be expected to share what you learn with your home lodge. As a delegate you are required to attend and represent your lodge at the meetings, and we highly encourage that you participate in the other events as well.

Q: Sunday morning, will there be a breakfast or is it eat on your own before you leave?

A: There is not a scheduled meal on Sunday. We suggest you grab your favorite Sisters and meet for a breakfast or brunch as your time allows.

Q: I’m considering running for the National Board. How do I go about applying?

A: If you are interested in a position on the National Board, and have questions regarding a particular position, please reach out to us any time.

Please submit a resume’ and letter of interest, any time, to Glenda Madrid, National Secretary at secretary@danishsisterhood.com.

Q: Can individuals and/or lodges donate raffle items?

A: Yes, raffle items are welcome! Please keep in mind that many members will be flying to and from convention, so larger items may be difficult to handle. If you wish to donate, please contact Anna Nielsen at trustee2@danishsisterhood.com
