Organizing DEC Chairs

First, thank you for serving as the organizing chair. The work of our local district executive committees is critical to the success of UIL. We appreciate your efforts to get the new alignment organized.
 
As the organizing chair for your district, we ask that you organize the first DEC meeting. It is important to remember that district schedules cannot be finalized and official until the alignment is finalized. The District Assignment Appeals Committee will hear final appeals on February 20, 2018. District schedules cannot be officially finalized until February 21, 2018.
 
At the conclusion of the DEC meetings, the elected chairs will need to complete the district chair confirmation form located on the UIL website or accessed through the District Confirmation Form
