Click to read Maria Durbin Cooper’s reflection of her experiences as AMTA-IL 2007 Delegate.

Delegates represent the Illinois Chapter at the annual session of the House of Delegates (HOD), convened during the AMTA Annual Convention. The House of Delegates considers recommendations to the national Board of Directors on matters of concern to members. It also votes on proposed position statements on various issues relating to the profession.
Position statements approved by the delegates may then be considered by the AMTA Board of Directors. If adopted by the		2007 AMTA-IL Chapter delegates and alternates (left to right): Maria Durbin Cooper, Jane Neumann, Terri Visovatti, Julie Zabukovec, Patricia Waner, Anthony Bondick, Jennifer Butler Yocum.
Board, they would then be shared with the public as the normal viewpoint of the association. Any member wishing to propose either a recommendation or a position statement for consideration at the House of Delegates should contact a chapter delegate.
