SCHEDULE
The ACOFP Congress of Delegates will have virtual reference committees given their success earlier this year. Based upon feedback, the date has been moved to Saturday, March 5, and the reference committees are sequential so that delegates may attend all of them if you choose.

No Congress will be held on Thursday so delegates must be able to commit to arriving by 2 pm CT on Wednesday, March 16 to be credentialed.

RESOLUTION SUBMISSION
Resolutions submitted after January 15 or during the Congress may only be accepted by approval of the Congress Speaker or by consent of two-thirds of the Congress Delegates present, provided two-thirds of the seated Delegates are in attendance.

AGENDA
The agenda and contents will be posted two weeks prior to Congress.
