Dear VAYD,

Convention is ALMOST here! This is a kind reminder that:

Our room block closes TOMORROW THURSDAY MARCH 30th!

The VAYD Room Block at the Delta Hotel will close tomorrow March 30. Rooms are currently are at a reduce rate of $169/night. Make sure to book your rooms so you can be as close as possible to all our our convention programming. 

If you are unsure if your rooms are booked, please check with your chapter President or chapter lead. 

You can locate our room block here.

ALL chapters MUST Re-Charter with VAYD by MIDNIGHT on March 31st!

This is of course incredibly important as it will grant you the ability to vote and participate in our upcoming convention in Richmond, as well as being recognized as an official organization. If you all can submit this as soon as possible, it will make the chartering process much easier.

Here’s what you will need:
✅ Your Chapter Constitution
✅ Your Officer Roster
✅ Your Membership Roster
✅ Your Outreach Plan

You can find examples of all of these at https://vayd.org/vaydcharter. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions in this process, we are here to help!

If you are unsure if your charter is in, please feel free to reach out to Matt Royer at [email protected].
