  Selected as one of 25 out of thousands of applicants to represent California at the national level.

Passed my proposal through every committee and achieved a place in the final plenary session, where the top ten proposals out of 600+ are debated and voted on. My proposal outlined a comprehensive path to citizenship for any undocumented immigrant that had resided in the U.S. for five years or longer and had no history of violent crime. As roundtable leader: ran delegation meetings, guiding delegates in reflecting on their debate sessions, their own character, and their future goals; providing support for delegates in need.

Served as the Conference Life Committee Representative for my state’s delegation; met every morning to discuss inconsistencies within the program. Drafted in collaboration with other California delegates over a dozen resolutions in an attempt to improve the conference in the coming years. Proposed and passed a resolution for the Conference Life Committee, which required a ⅚ majority to pass, to make meal prayers non-denominational in place of Christianity. Proposed and unfortunately failed to eliminate the requirement to attend non-secular evening devotions, however, with the support of CA delegates, I opened the conversation to reinvent the purpose of the evening gatherings altogether.
