Chapter Delegates Community
If you are serving as a chapter delegate, be sure to visit The Circle, Sigma's online member community, where you'll find a special community just for delegates. The Chapter Delegates Community is a place where you can ask questions about your role, find links to important documents (ballot and proposed bylaws changes), learn about the schedule of events, and talk with other delegates and staff
Proposed Bylaws Amendments and Resolutions
Prior to convention, delegates should communicate with their chapter membership to determine how the chapter would like their votes to be cast.

Test Your Tech
In preparation for the House of Delegates sessions 10-11 November, there will be designated times for all delegates to practice logging into the Lumi voting platform.
Test on your own:
Delegates can log in anytime from 7:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. EST (0700-1700) daily from 3-9 November. During these sessions, all delegates should try logging in with the same device they plan to use while participating in the House of Delegates.
Live Delegate Orientation: 5 November, 9:00-10:00 a.m. EST (0900-1000)
Who should attend the live orientation?
This one-hour session is especially beneficial for virtual delegates and will include a live presentation on how to use the virtual platform, cast your vote in the virtual platform, and speak from the virtual floor. After the presentation, there will be hands-on practice of the voting module as well as the ability to practice speaking from the virtual floor to test your computer microphone.
Delegates attending sessions in person are also encouraged to attend this live session if they have any questions about using their own mobile smartphone, tablet, or laptop to cast their votes while onsite.
We have compiled a step-by-step instruction sheet to help you navigate the virtual meeting platform. Important information is included, such as understanding how to log in to the virtual platform, how to join the speaking queue, and what to do if you are having technical problems. Please read these instructions prior to your attendance at the practice session and virtual convention.
All delegates will use their own personal devices to cast their votes.
