The Illinois Conference is entitled to send four (4) delegates to the ASC meeting, one of which is the President by virtue of the office. The election is to determine the remaining three (3) delegates to the ASC meeting scheduled June 10, 2011, and two (2) delegates to the Annual Conference scheduled June 11-12, 2011. Individuals may run for both delegate positions.
