Can commit to attending both the Leadership Summit and the ACA Council of Delegates Meeting in February 2010 — thus providing consistency for your Section.
Can commit to participating fully in the dialogue.
Can consider the big picture — that is, in the end, “What must ACA look like and how must ACA act to meet the overall goals of 20 million campers annually by the year 2020?”

Have the ability to suspend judgment in order to fully participate.

Can engage in conversation with different viewpoints.

Are comfortable with generative deliberation.
Can promote and add to a “culture of inquiry.”

ACA National will be responsible for the travel, housing, and meals of all National volunteers; and, meeting room expenses, a/v, and meeting materials.
