Guidelines for Annual Conference Reports
Please remember that there are now new guidelines for the Conference Journal, and are included below. It should also be remembered that items taken from the pre-conference packet may also be included in the Journal and therefore need to follow the same rules. Your help in following these guidelines is very much appreciated as it makes the task easier for all who prepare the pre-conference packet and Journal. Reports should be in Word Format emailed to louie(at)desertsw.org. Reports can also be snail mailed to 10298 W. Thunderbird Blvd. Sun City, AZ 85351.
Guidelines for Conference Reports
Font:
- Font should be in Times New Roman.
- Title of report should be in bold.
- All text should be sized at 12 point
Format:
- Report Name should be centered at the top of the report with chairperson's name listed directly below, also centered.
- Main body of the report should be single spaced and fully justified.
Content:
- Reports should be written in third person. Do not write in first person (I, my). The "royal" first person (we, they) is acceptable.
- Refrain from using the report for "personal notes" or a time to send "thank-yous". Reports are intended to be an official report of the business that has occurred during the past year.
