MASC/MAHS Regional Host Booklet

Congratulations on your endeavor to be an MASC/MAHS Regional Host School!

As you begin putting together details for your conference, there a few things to remember:
- ALL registrations come through the MASC/MAHS office,
- Food ordering and purchasing will be done through the MASC/MAHS office unless otherwise arranged with MASC/MAHS
- ALL presenter forms that come to the MASC/MAHS office will be forwarded to you immediately via the school adviser's email,
- And this is YOUR conference - your time to put your council and its abilities on display for those in your area to see - make it a reflection of YOU!

Enclosed in this booklet you will find all of the directions and guidance you need to host. Read thoroughly and distribute parts of the booklet as appropriate to the council/chapter members. You will also find attached to this main page a copy of our "MASC/MAHS Notes" page in case you decide to use it in the attendee folders. If you are in need of a map to the location, please visit our event website, find the conference you are looking for, then under DIRECTIONS, you will find everything you need. If you would like samples of agendas/inserts from previous conferences, you will find those in the "Sample Stuff" section of this booklet. I will provide supplies (folders, pens, bags, nametags, ribbons) to your adviser at the January Advisers Conference unless other arrangements are made. After that, you will need to contact MASC/MAHS if you are running short of supplies in relation to the registration numbers you will receive from MASC/MAHS.

Throughout the process, if you have any questions, please contact Kadi Pojeta, MASSP Coordinator of Student Leadership

Each conference has special needs depending on the site and the numbers attending. Please feel free to call Kadi at any time with questions. It is better to ask a lot of questions than to have an organizational problem that upsets the day.

From past experience there are two areas that drive the host schools crazy:
1. Presenters are slow in following up on verbal commitments. Keep after them.
2. Schools are slow to register. Start calling them 3-4 weeks prior to your conference date to be certain they know about the conference. MASC/MAHS will send out email reminders via the Blast Email News System every week or two. Information will also be posted online.
