My PlatformI am all about the average JSA'ers and their needs!
|
Chapter Internal AffairsTo improve the between chapter presidents and CIA, I hope to forge more connections between CIA and chapter presidents. This will be created through real, personal connections between delegates and Cabinet officials. When a Chapter President doesn't respond to CIA communications, CIA should have a secondary contact in order to effectively funnel information to chapter members. I also want to give chapter presidents more opportunities to bond by hosting group calls and having allocated bonding time at conventions.

The Individual JSAerThe wants and needs of the average JSAer are of utmost importance to me. Under my leadership, I hope to see NorCal use more inclusive pronouns in the forms we fill out for resolves. I also want to make it easier for new JSAers to get involved- through Mid-Year Cabinet Applications, feedback surveys, and more. I also hope to implement bonding with other JSAers outside of conventions and debates. JSA is fun at all levels, but I want to bump it up even more on the everyday level. The JSA we enjoy at conventions, where politics are readily discussed and friends are easily made, shouldn't have to go away when we leave the hotel.

Summer SchoolJSA Summer School, which includes life-changing programs at top-notch colleges, should be one of NorCal's highest priorities. Summer School is a great opportunity for learning and an even better way to make friends! The Summer School AP courses are approved by the College Board, and if you take the corresponding test, college credit can be earned. At some schools, high school credit can be earned for attending. I feel like we are vastly underrepresented at these Summer School, and I would love to help to get NorCals attendance up!

Logistics I want to make logistics easier for everyone involved. I want to have more easily accessible information for everyone and a more integrated use of the JSApp. I want to put more of a focus on logistics for Winter State with more logistic agents and better time allotment.
|
ConventionI want to make the convention planning process easier for everyone- from all walks of JSA. I want to make night time activities better by having Karaoke last longer and to have more rooms allocated for chapter bonding. Conventions can be a life changing experience, especially through the activities and debates offered, and I want everyone to be able to make that change.
|
RegionsAs a two time leader of the GGR region, I know the ins and out and the problems that they face. I want to have a better support system for regional leaders to help accustom them to their positions. I want to reintroduce the mandatory weekly phone calls with the governor that were lacking this year. I also want to have the regions work even closer with their other cabinet members, like in the Expansion and CIA departments, so they can develop better relationships. I also want to have regional leaders to make a guide on how to have a Chapter-Con for their region's chapter presidents.
|
PublicityUnder my leadership, I want to revitalize the way we do publicity. I want us to reach further than the normal social media that we use, like Facebook and email, and to create more interactions with JSA by uploading more regularly and by studying analytics to see what we can do better. I also want the publicity department to have regional agents that work with the Regional Leaders who create one days and chapter-cons. Publicity and Social Media can be an amazing tool if we use it well.
|
DebateI want to have some more fun with debate! I feel like while we discuss very important and serious topics, the ones that we remember are the ones that are relaxed and fun. I want to have better-prepared moderators and an even bigger debate 101 section at Fall State. Debate teaches us so much about the people around us and about ourselves.
|
TechnologyI feel like with the current advancements in technology, NorCal JSA is falling behind. As the state that contains one of the most technologically advanced valleys, I think we should be at a forefront. I think we should start using the app more throughout the year at different times. I also want to find a way to make it easier for us to communicate.
