Date: Tues June 7:  Conference email #3: Orchestra Reports/Settlement Bulletins

Hi, all – a few conference reminders this evening:

1) Write your Orchestra Report

An important part of conference preparation for us is the submission of Orchestra Reports from each orchestra, so we can compile them and share with delegates prior to conference.  The Orchestra reports are important historical documents that help us keep track of the status of our orchestras over the years.

I’m attaching a sample report to this email as well.  There is no set format, but do your best to keep it to one side of one page – a 1-page summary of how your orchestra did this year. You might want to check with your Orchestra Committee chair

If you are a delegate but someone else will be attending conference, please get a hold of your sub and see which of you will be writing the report.

Please submit reports to me via my gmail account (karensandene@gmail.com) rather than to the whole list.  Do this by July 1, please.

As reports come in, I will compile them into a single document and a link will be posted on the conference page http://ropaweb.org/support/2022-annual-conference/ Substitute delegates, you will have access to the delegates portion of the site so you can view these and other documents you should have access to at conference.

Please don’t wait for the last minute to file your report.  It takes time to process and compile nearly 90 orchestra reports, so do me a favor and try to get yours in by July 1.

2) Settlement Bulletins

If your orchestra settled contracts this past season and you have not yet sent in a settlement bulletin, please do so, so they can be distributed at conference.

These can be completed 2 ways:

1) Go to the following link to a google form and provide the information http://tinyurl.com/Settlement-Bulletin-Form or

2) If you are fairly comfortable with Microsoft Word and can add rows/columns to a table, you can use the attached Settlement Bulletin Template and create a document.

Thanks!  Karen Sandene
