Applications are now available for students to apply to be an Honor Delegate to the 2025 IASC State Convention, which will be held May 1-3, 2025 in Lombard, IL. Honor Delegates play an essential role in the State Convention, and we ask you to encourage your students to apply.  As an Honor Delegate, students will have the opportunity to meet new people, participate in new experiences, and learn both leadership skills and more about student council. Committee members will be able to learn and experience parliamentary procedures in meetings, and contribute to the IASC. Students in other positions will have the opportunity to share leadership and wisdom among their peers.

Honor Delegate positions align under one of the Vice Presidents:

• First Vice President Honor Delegate Positions
  • Discussion Group Leader – Prepare a presentation on a selected topic and present it to a group of students at the convention.
  • Recorder – Take notes on what occurs during an assigned discussion group.
  • Roundtable Moderator – Moderate a roundtable discussion on an assigned topic.
  • Constitution Committee Member – Serve on a committee to evaluate submitted changes to the IASC Constitution, and provide recommendations to the voting delegates on whether to approve or deny submissions.
  • Credentials Committee Member – Serve on a committee to interview candidates for the 2024-2025 IASC Executive Board, and provide a recommendation on whether the candidate is recommended or not recommended for election.
  • Honor Council Committee Member – Serve on a committee to evaluate Honor Council Books and Mini Books.
• Second Vice President Honor Delegate Positions
  • Hall of Ideas – Prepare a poster on a topic or activity that your council participates in.
  • Service Project – Provide a good or service to be used at the convention. These items may include a monetary contribution, purchasing pens, binders, snacks, etc, that are used by attendees at the convention. The school, not the particular student, needs to provide the funds and items.
• Secretary Honor Delegate Positions
  • Honor Council Book Creator – Prepare a hard-copy or electronic book adhering to a set rubric that demonstrates the organization and activities of your council over the past year.
