Young Adult Delegation
REGISTRATION/ELIGIBILITY
Up to three
young adults (ages 18-30) from each district may register through this program.
If you are an elected member of Annual Conference from your congregation,
please do not register here. Instead, please register through the main
registration page. If you are not elected by your church but are interested in
attending, you must first have approval from Sharon Cook, the Coordinator of
Age-Level Ministries. You can contact her at scook@wisconsinumc.org.
Once approved, you will be given directions on how to register. Your total
expenses for the event will be $100.00, payable when you register. All other costs
are covered by Apportionment giving.
AGENDA
|
Young
adults will be voting members of the Annual Conference. You will be an
active participant in all plenary sessions, discussing and voting on all
matters. We will have several worship opportunities as well. Young Adults
are expected to participate in Annual Conference independently from the
youth program. Because of Safe Sanctuaries policies, young adults may not
participate in the youth program. You are free to spend time with any other
Annual Conference members you would like.

business at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 16. We invite and encourage all to
remain for the service of ordination and commissioning, which will
conclude by 6:30 p.m. Young adults who wish to remain for Learning Day

WHAT
TO WEAR
|
Annual
Conference runs from Friday to Sunday. Don’t get carried away. You will see
a wide variety of dress styles at AC, but most lean toward business casual.
You may want to consider a sweater/fleece for layering if the air
conditioning is too cold.

HOUSING
AND FOOD
|
Young
adults will be assigned 2-3 to a room at the Hampton Inn, connected to the K I Convention Center. Each young adult will have their own bed. If young adults wish to
make their own lodging arrangements, they should let Sharon Cook know when
they register. The Conference will not be able to pay for alternate lodging
arrangements.
All meals will be covered for young adults. Breakfast will be at the
Hampton Inn, and lunch/dinner will be served at the K I Convention Center. Should you
decide to make alternate arrangements to eat elsewhere, you will not be
reimbursed.
