2008 Spring State
April 12-13, 2008
Hyatt Regency Deerfield– Deerfield, IllinoisOn April 12-13, 2008, the Midwest State of the Junior State of America will sponsor its annual Spring State Convention, “Passing the Torch” at the Hyatt Regency Deerfield in Deerfield, Illinois. We hope that you will be able to join students and teachers from throughout the Midwest for an exciting educational experience at this weekend-long examination of the challenges facing the world and our generation.
Spring State 2008 will give students the chance to discuss, debate and define the myths and realities that define our generation. Through active participation in debates, seminars, simulations, problem-solving forums, thought talks and other activities, delegates will be given the opportunity to voice their opinions on the status of American society, the world community, and the future direction of the country. The Spring State convention will also feature the elections of next year’s Midwest Junior State Officers. There will be a dance at the hotel on Saturday evening, where delegates will have the opportunity to meet students from other schools from all over the Midwest. Needless to say, this convention will be an educational and social highlight of the year. The convention brochure contains additional information.
