  Calling ALL Delegates, Give your chapter your Inalienable Rights  
  Mindy Bunselmeyer  5/20/2022 2:00:00 PM  
     
 

Calling ALL Delegates, they MUST be signed up by May 25, 2022!  

Give your chapter your Inalienable Rights, EVERY chapter has two votes, which is two voices to represent your FFA Chapter.  No one can take those away from you, so be sure to use them.  

Good job friends, you are responding, we are up to 128 FFA chapters signed up and we have 354 FFA Chapters in the state, so still, a ways to go...help us out and get your delegates signed up TODAY!  

Delegates (up to 2 members from each chapter) will be able to attend a virtual business session on Wednesday, June 1, 2022, at 3:30 p.m. 

Elections (in-person or virtual attendance) for Elections Session, Thursday, June 16, 2022, at 8:00 a.m.  Delegate registration must be completed by May 25, 2022, to create their delegate accounts and reserve their free convention t-shirt for serving as a delegate.  Please click here for the Delegate registration form.  NOTICE:  Even if your delegates will be in person for ELECTIONS on June 17, 2022, ALL DELEGATES MUST be registered via our google form.  ALL delegates will be using their own electronic device for voting again this year, we WILL NOT have clickers for voting during elections.  

 

EVEN if you haven’t registered for the convention yet, you MUST sign up your delegates by May 25, 2022.  Sign them up now and complete your registration another time or even on-site if you have to, but get those delegates assigned on the google form in this message.  

How should they select a password?  

Passwords MUST:  

  • Contain one capital letter

  • Contain one lower case letter

  • Contain one number

  • Be a minimum of 8 characters long

 

Frequently asked questions about the system:  

Will the system allow for school addresses?  Yes, Turning Technologies will not be emailing the students, the email address serves as their login, and school addresses will work fine.  

How should they select a password?  

Passwords MUST:  

  • Contain one capital letter

  • Contain one lower case letter

  • Contain one number

  • Be a minimum of 8 characters long

 

Do students have to have a laptop?  Students can use their phones, iPad, laptop or desktop.  But you should have two devices per delegate, one so they are watching on one device and then voting with the other device.  For example, they are watching the elections on a laptop and voting via Turning Technologies from their phone.  

Is the system difficult to use?  Turning Technologies is the same system we use for face to face elections. It is easy to use, and the Illinois FFA Board tested the system from our phones and laptops.  I used it- if I managed it with ease, your students are all set.  

 

Can a student give out their email address and password to others to get more people to vote?  NO, the system only allows ONE device per email address.  The Illinois FFA Board tested this as well, you CANNOT login on more than ONE device per email address and password.  

 

Will our Chapter Delegates still get a delegate t-shirt?  Yes, they will be given coupons to get them from the Alumni booth in person and put in your convention registration packets and mailed to your school if participating virtually.  Alumni will be selling convention t-shirts as well as other merchandise again this year.  

 

My students use Chromebooks, will that be an issue?  Directly from Turning Technologies:  “I’ve never heard of anyone having issues with using the Chromebook.  As long as they can access www.ttpoll.com there should be no issue since nothing needs to be installed.” 

 

How do I know the system will work on my device?  We will be able to know and troubleshoot any issues during the Business Session on Wednesday, June 1, 2022, at 3:30 p.m.
