After 29 hours of flights and layovers we had one day to acclimatise (Monday) to the 40 degree heat of Palm Springs before a grueling schedule of 5 days of training, conference and contests began. But on the day of acclimatising, of course we had some work to do – we interviewed candidates for international office and this is why those proxies are so important! As your District officers we carry the responsibility of taking the decisions of who is best to represent all our members in the next year of office, and it is often a tough call.
