I know that all delegates will received initial delegate confirmation in a letter by U.S. mail near April 1. The letter will contain information regarding final instructions to download the Delegate Information Packet 2008 from this website. If by chance the confirmation letter gets lost in the mail, I will take responsibility to go to the website and download the Delegate Information Packet 2008.

I know that the only way to get the Delegate Information Packet 2008 is to download it from the website; a hard paper copy will not be mailed.

Informational meetings regarding MGS 2009 called "Briefings" are held throughout the state in the spring. Each American Legion Auxiliary District will host a briefing. I know that I will be contacted regarding the briefing held by the district within my area and I know that my family is also invited to attend with me. The list of scheduled briefings will be included in the confirmation US mailing near April 1. If I am not personally contacted, I know that I should contact the chair person’s name that is printed on the schedule.

If I am a Delegate and I can no longer attend MGS, I will contact someone – school counselor, American Legion Auxiliary Unit or District Chair or the website "contact us", as soon as possible so that an alternate can be selected to take my place.

While at Girls State, you will have the opportunity to compete for Girls Nation. Two girls will be chosen by the 2008 delegates from a group of approximately six (6) finalists to represent Missouri Girls State as U. S. Senators at Girls Nation, held in Washington D.C. in July.

The two Senators will collaborate to write one (1) proposed bill or resolution to present during the senate sessions at Girls Nation. Many delegates seek to be included in the finalist group. The screening and selection process will be explained upon arrival at MGS; however, it is based on legislation ideas, writing and oral communication abilities. Two alternates also are chosen by the 2008 delegates in case one or both selected Senators are unable to attend Girls Nation.
