Pillar 2: Service
State Service Project
Pillar 3: Membership
We are happy to announce the following candidate schools that have qualified to campaign for their position:
Meadowcreek High School- campaigning for President
Wayne County High School- campaigning for President
Mountain View High School- campaigning for Vice President
Alpharetta High School- campaigning for Parliamentarian
Lambert High School- campaigning for Journal
These schools will be campaigning throughout the conference to win your vote to be on the GASC 2017-2018 Executive Board. It is critical that your school register one voting delegate during the registration process when you arrive at convention. This delegate will have designated seating during the election general meeting in order to make the voting process more efficient.
Pillar 4: Connections
Make Sure to add GASC on Remind101 during Convention for details and updates!
Connect with Other Delegates!

- Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner are always fun and an easy time to make new friends!
Pillar 5: Democratic Principles
Election of Officers at Convention
B: Elections shall be held during a session of the association’s convention. Each school present at the convention will be allowed one vote per student delegate up to a maximum of three (3) votes. C: The Parliamentarian School will secure Election Clerks prior to the election. These clerks should be three (3) students and one adult from different schools that are not schools on the ballot. D: When there are 50 schools or less attending convention, voting will be done by roll call. When schools attending convention exceed 50, the schools in attendance will vote on the method of voting for officers (roll call v. ballot). Election results will be public record, no matter the method of voting. 3 E: Election to office requires a majority vote of official delegates voting. If a second ballot is needed, the two schools receiving the highest number of votes will be placed on the ballot. F: The Executive Board shall be responsible for filling all vacancies on the Executive Board with individuals from schools meeting the officer school qualifications in Article V, Section IA
