registration area.

6. If neither the voting delegate nor alternate is able to attend the Business Meeting, the voting
delegate or alternate may pass the voting card to another official from the same city by
appearing in person before a representative of the Credentials Committee to make the
exchange. Prior to the Business Meeting,exchanges may be made at the Annual Conference
