Aside from diving deep into the uniqueness of our BBYO siblinghood, we will celebrate our past year and set our sights on what's to come.
After Fall Convention we know that a weekend back together is what you need.
WHAT TO EXPECT 👀
Spring Convention is the topper on the cake! It's a weekend that includes our State of the Address ceremony, honoring our Regional Presidents, a convention outing where will we have the opportunity to get out of the hotel and explore Memphis, and a J-Serve experience like you've never seen before. The weekend is tied together on Sunday morning as we move to elect our 76th and 96th Delta Regional Boards.
COME J-SERVE WITH US!
